Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- ⅓ cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup chicken broth
- ¼ cup heavy cream
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Set up three shallow bowls. Place flour in the first, beat eggs in the second, and combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in the third.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in the beaten eggs, and coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all chicken pieces.
- Drizzle melted butter over the chicken and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- While the chicken bakes, melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in the heavy cream and cook for about 5 minutes until the sauce thickens.
- Season the garlic sauce with salt and pepper to taste, then remove from heat.
- Remove the crispy chicken from the oven. Plate the chicken and generously drizzle the rich garlic sauce over the top.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
- For a gluten-free version, use gluten-free breadcrumbs and ensure chicken broth is gluten-free.
- Chicken thighs can be used as a substitute for breasts for a juicier result.
- Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness, aiming for an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- The garlic sauce can be made ahead and reheated before serving.
- For a healthier option, reduce butter in the sauce and use reduced-fat milk instead of cream.
