Ingredients
  

2 large chicken breasts, sliced in half horizontally

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

3 tablespoons olive oil

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Chicken: Season the sliced chicken breasts with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.

      Set Up Breading Station: In three separate shallow bowls, place flour in one, beaten eggs in another, and mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt in the third.

        Bread the Chicken: Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

          Sauté Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. You may need to do this in batches. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.

            Bake Chicken: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).

              Make the Dreamy Garlic Cream Sauce: In the same skillet used for the chicken, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a simmer and let it cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until it thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

                Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven. Plate up the crispy Parmesan chicken and drizzle the dreamy garlic cream sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a zesty finish.
