Ingredients

Scale

Chicken and Coating

  • 2 large chicken breasts, halved into cutlets
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Creamy Garlic Sauce

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for finishing the chicken after searing.
  2. Prepare the Chicken: In a shallow bowl, combine 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese with 1/2 cup breadcrumbs. Season the chicken cutlets on both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Dredge each cutlet thoroughly in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.
  3. Cook the Chicken: Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the coated chicken cutlets and sear for 5 to 6 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust.
  4. Bake: Transfer the seared chicken cutlets to the preheated oven and bake for 10 to 12 minutes until they reach an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C), ensuring they are fully cooked through.
  5. Make the Sauce: Using the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant but not browned. Pour in 1 cup of heavy cream and stir in 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 1/2 tsp salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Simmer the sauce for 3 to 4 minutes until it thickens to a creamy consistency.
  6. Serve: Plate the crispy Parmesan-crusted chicken and generously spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Serve immediately and enjoy this comforting, flavorful dish.

Notes

  • For an extra crispy crust, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular breadcrumbs.
  • Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) to guarantee it is fully cooked and safe to eat.
  • You can use fresh Parmesan for better flavor and texture in the crust and sauce.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated for up to 3 days and reheated gently to preserve the sauce’s creaminess.
