Instructions
Let’s get cooking! Follow these steps to bring this delicious dish to life:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.
- Place the grated Parmesan cheese in a third bowl.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, then press into the Parmesan cheese, ensuring a good coating on all sides.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the garlic sauce. In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute, or until fragrant.
- Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat and stir in the heavy cream, cooking until the sauce thickens slightly.
- Once the chicken is ready, serve it topped with the rich garlic sauce and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
