Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce features crispy, golden chicken breasts coated in parmesan and breadcrumbs, paired with a rich, garlicky cream sauce for a restaurant-quality meal at home.

Ingredients

  1. 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  2. 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, finely grated
  3. 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  4. 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  5. 2 large eggs, beaten
  6. Salt and black pepper, to taste
  7. 3 tbsp olive oil or vegetable oil (for frying)

For the creamy garlic sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup parmesan cheese, grated
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: fresh parsley, chopped, for garnish

Instructions

Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  1. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko bread crumbs and parmesan cheese.
  2. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip into the egg, and coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb-parmesan mixture.
  3. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Fry chicken until golden and cooked through, about 4–5 minutes per side. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  5. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream and parmesan, whisking until smooth.
  6. Simmer until the sauce thickens slightly, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  7. Return chicken to the skillet to coat in sauce, or serve with sauce spooned over the top.
  8. Garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Notes

  1. For extra crispiness, use freshly grated parmesan and panko bread crumbs.
  2. Baking option: cook at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
  3. Add mushrooms or spinach to the sauce for extra flavor.
  4. Reheat sauce gently to avoid curdling.
