Ingredients

For the Parmesan Crusted Chicken:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

  • 1/2 cup (50g) grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/2 cup (50g) breadcrumbs (preferably panko)

  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano

  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste

  • 2 eggs, beaten

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup (240ml) heavy cream

  • 1/2 cup (120ml) chicken broth

  • 1/4 cup (25g) grated Parmesan cheese

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
    In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
    In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs.
    Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat with the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crust.

  • Cook the Chicken:
    Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
    Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
    Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

  • Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
    While the chicken bakes, heat olive oil in a separate pan over medium heat.
    Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
    Add the chicken broth and simmer for 3-4 minutes.
    Stir in the heavy cream and Parmesan cheese, cooking for another 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
    Season with salt and pepper to taste.

  • Serve:
    Once the chicken is cooked, remove from the oven and drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top.
    Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

  • Veggies: Serve with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad for a complete meal.

  • Spicy Kick: Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the creamy sauce for a slight heat.

  • Dairy-Free: For a dairy-free version, substitute the Parmesan and heavy cream with dairy-free alternatives like nutritional yeast and coconut cream.

  • Chicken Options: You can also use chicken thighs for a juicier alternative.
