Ingredients
For the Chicken
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a shallow dish, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, salt, and pepper.
- Coat each chicken breast in the mixture, pressing to adhere.
Cooking
- In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add chicken and cook until golden brown on both sides.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20 minutes, or until fully cooked.
- In the same skillet, add butter and garlic, cooking until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and simmer until thickened.
- Serve the chicken with the creamy garlic sauce on top.
Notes
Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly onto the chicken for better adherence. Use half-and-half instead of heavy cream for a lighter sauce if desired. To reheat, warm it in the oven or microwave to ensure chicken is hot throughout.
