Crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken with creamy garlic sauce – an easy, flavorful dinner perfect for weeknights or special occasions.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 small to medium chicken breasts (or 2 large, cut in half lengthwise)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

For the Coating:

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  • 3 to 4 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1 cup light cream or heavy cream

  • 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning or dried oregano

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 cup chopped spinach (optional)

Instructions

1. Season the Chicken:
Pat the chicken dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

2. Prepare the Coating:
In a shallow bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs. Press the mixture onto both sides of each chicken breast to evenly coat.

3. Sear the Chicken:
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken and sear for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden and crispy.

4. Make the Garlic Sauce:
Lower the heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic to the same skillet and sauté for about 1 minute, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Pour in the cream and stir in the Italian seasoning. If using spinach, add it now and let it wilt into the sauce. Stir in the Parmesan cheese and simmer until the sauce thickens slightly.

5. Finish Cooking the Chicken:
Cover the skillet and let the chicken continue cooking for 8 to 10 minutes, or until it reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.

 

6. Serve:
Plate the chicken and spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Serve hot.
