Make restaurant-quality Parmesan Chicken with a rich, smooth Creamy Garlic Sauce. This recipe guides you through crisping the chicken and preparing the flavorful sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, plus 1/4 cup for sauce
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (200 degrees Celsius). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Set up a breading station: Place flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder on one plate. Place beaten eggs on a second plate. Mix the 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese and Panko breadcrumbs on a third plate.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Dip it into the egg, allowing excess to drip off. Finally, press the chicken firmly into the Panko mixture to coat both sides evenly.
  4. Heat the olive oil and butter in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the breaded chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Do not cook through.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 10 to 12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees Fahrenheit (74 degrees Celsius). Remove chicken and set aside, keeping warm.
  6. To make the sauce, reduce the heat to medium. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and cook for 1 minute until fragrant.
  7. Pour in the chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Let it simmer for 2 minutes.
  8. Reduce the heat to low. Slowly whisk in the heavy cream and the remaining 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese. Stir constantly until the sauce thickens slightly, about 3 to 5 minutes. Do not let it boil rapidly.
  9. Stir in the fresh parsley. Taste the sauce and add salt and pepper if needed.
  10. Serve the Parmesan Chicken immediately, spooning the Creamy Garlic Sauce generously over the top.

Notes

  • For extra crispy chicken, ensure your oil is hot before searing and use Panko breadcrumbs.
  • Serve this dish over cooked linguine, with steamed asparagus, or alongside roasted potatoes.
  • If you prefer a thicker sauce, let it simmer uncovered for an extra minute or two.
