Crispy Parmesan Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce

A weeknight winner of crunchy, savory chicken cutlets served with a silky, garlicky sauce that clings to each bite.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut in half lengthwise to make 4 thin cutlets)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1 tbsp butter
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • Fresh parsley (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Combine the flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
  3. Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated.
  4. Melt the butter over medium heat in a large skillet.
  5. Cook the chicken cutlets until golden brown and cooked through, about 4 to 5 minutes per side.
  6. Remove the chicken from the skillet and tent with foil to keep warm.
  7. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds.
  8. Pour in the chicken broth and let simmer for 2 to 3 minutes, scraping up browned bits.
  9. Stir in the heavy cream and cook until slightly thickened, about 2 minutes.
  10. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over it to warm together.
  11. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Pound chicken breasts evenly to ensure consistent cooking. If the sauce thickens too much, add a splash more chicken broth.
