→ For the Creamy Garlic Sauce
12 -
4 cloves garlic, minced
13 -
1 cup heavy cream
14 -
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
# How to Make It:
01 -
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.
02 -
In a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs with the milk. In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup grated Parmesan with Italian-style breadcrumbs.
03 -
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then dredge in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere coating on both sides.
04 -
Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 5 to 6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
05 -
Using the same skillet, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream, stirring to deglaze the pan. Allow the sauce to come to a gentle simmer.
06 -
Stir in the remaining 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese. Cook the sauce for 2 to 3 minutes until thickened and smooth. Return chicken breasts to the pan, spoon the sauce over, and heat for another minute. Serve immediately, optionally garnishing with chopped parsley.
# Extra Suggestions:
01 -
Allow the chicken to rest a few minutes before slicing to retain juices.
02 -
For even coating, firmly press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture.
