Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken:

Flatten chicken halves slightly for even cooking.

In a shallow bowl, mix flour, Parmesan, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.

Dredge each chicken piece in the mixture, coating evenly.

2. Cook the Chicken:

Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Cook chicken 4โ€“5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.

3. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

In the same skillet, melt butter and sautรฉ minced garlic for 1โ€“2 minutes until fragrant.

Add chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine.

Stir in Parmesan cheese, and cook until sauce thickens slightly, about 3โ€“5 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Serve:

Pour the creamy garlic sauce over the Parmesan-crusted chicken.

Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.

Tips & Tricks (Nsa2i7):

Even cooking: Halve and slightly flatten chicken breasts to ensure uniform cooking.

Crispy crust: Press the flour-Parmesan mixture firmly onto the chicken for maximum crunch.

Sauce consistency: Simmer gently and stir constantly to prevent the cream from curdling.

Extra flavor: Add a pinch of Italian herbs or smoked paprika to the crust for a deeper taste.

Serving suggestion: Pair with garlic mashed potatoes or roasted veggies to complete the meal.
