Ingredients
  

For the Crispy Parmesan Chicken:

2 large chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

Olive oil or cooking spray for frying

For the Dreamy Garlic Cream Sauce:

2 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic (minced)

1 cup heavy cream

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

Salt and pepper to taste

Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken:

    - Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).

      - Slice each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

        Breading Station:

          - Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one mixed with breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.

            Bread the Chicken:

              - Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, shaking off excess.

                - Dip into beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.

                  - Finally, coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

                    Cook the Chicken:

                      - Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil (or spray with cooking spray).

                        - Once hot, add the breaded chicken pieces in batches, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through.

                          - Transfer the cooked chicken to a baking sheet and place it in the oven for about 10 minutes to keep warm and ensure doneness.

                            Make the Garlic Cream Sauce:

                              - In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.

                                - Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

                                  - Slowly pour in the heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

                                    - Stir in the grated Parmesan cheese and garlic powder. Cook for an additional 3-5 minutes until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

                                      Serve:

                                        - Plate the crispy Parmesan chicken and generously drizzle the dreamy garlic cream sauce over the top.

                                          - Garnish with chopped parsley for a fresh touch.
