Description

Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Garlic Sauce is a flavorful and crispy chicken dish featuring tender chicken fillets coated with a crunchy Parmesan and breadcrumb crust, pan-seared to golden perfection, then baked for juiciness. Topped with a rich and creamy garlic sauce made from sautéed garlic and heavy cream, this dish offers a perfect balance of textures and savory flavors ideal for a comforting dinner.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken fillets
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup flour
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Garlic Sauce

  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) to prepare for finishing the chicken after searing.
  2. Prepare the coating mixture: In a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs thoroughly to create the flavorful crust.
  3. Season the chicken: Season each chicken fillet evenly with salt and pepper on both sides to enhance the flavor.
  4. Coat the chicken: Dredge each chicken fillet first in flour, then dip into beaten eggs, and finally coat with the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even crust on all sides.
  5. Pre-sear the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the coated chicken fillets and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they develop a golden brown crust.
  6. Bake the chicken: Transfer the seared chicken fillets to a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and juicy.
  7. Prepare the garlic sauce: In the same skillet used for searing, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and let it simmer gently for 5 minutes to thicken and develop rich flavor.
  8. Serve: Plate the baked Parmesan crusted chicken and spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Serve immediately to enjoy the warm, savory dish.

Notes

  • You can substitute heavy cream with half-and-half for a lighter sauce, but the sauce will be less rich.
  • Letting the chicken rest a few minutes after baking helps retain juices for a moist bite.
  • Use fresh Parmesan cheese for the best flavor and better crust texture.
  • If preferred, add herbs such as parsley or thyme to the breadcrumb mixture for extra aroma.
  • Ensure the skillet and oil are hot before adding the chicken to get a perfect golden crust without sticking.
