  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each chicken breast in the beaten eggs, then dredge in the Parmesan mixture, pressing firmly to coat.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. While the chicken is baking, melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 1 minute, until fragrant.
  7. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth. Bring to a simmer and cook for 5-7 minutes, or until the sauce has thickened slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  8. Remove chicken from the oven and pour the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispy chicken, broil for the last 1-2 minutes, watching carefully to avoid burning. Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in the microwave or oven. Serve with pasta, rice, or roasted vegetables for a complete meal. You can substitute the breadcrumbs with almond flour for a gluten-free version.
