Crispy, golden Parmesan-crusted chicken breasts topped with a rich and velvety garlic cream sauce — a comforting and satisfying meal perfect for any night of the week.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for frying)
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch thick). Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mix of Parmesan, panko, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
  2. Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the Parmesan-panko mixture. Press the coating onto the chicken to stick.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for about 4–5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C). Transfer cooked chicken to a plate and tent with foil to keep warm.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in the flour and cook for 1 minute to create a roux. Slowly whisk in the chicken broth, followed by the heavy cream. Stir and simmer until the sauce thickens, about 3–5 minutes. Add Parmesan cheese, stirring until melted. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  5. Spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the Parmesan crusted chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra Parmesan if desired. Serve hot with pasta, mashed potatoes, or a side of veggies.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for best flavor and texture.
  • Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the sauce if you like a little heat.
  • After pan-frying, you can also bake the chicken at 375°F (190°C) for 10 minutes for extra juiciness.
