Crispy Parmesan Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce

A comforting weeknight winner with a crunchy, crispy exterior and a rich, velvety garlic sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise to make 4 thin cutlets)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Combine the flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
  3. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, pressing lightly so the coating adheres.
  4. Melt the butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then cook the chicken cutlets until golden brown, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  5. Remove the chicken and set aside on a plate.
  6. Sauté the minced garlic in the same skillet for about 30 seconds.
  7. Add the chicken broth and let it simmer for 2 to 3 minutes.
  8. Stir in the heavy cream and cook until the sauce is slightly thickened, about 1 to 3 minutes.
  9. Return the chicken to the skillet and spoon the sauce over it.
  10. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Pat the chicken dry before dredging to help the coating stick. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
