Prepare the Chicken<\/h3>\n<p>Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness, about 1\/2 inch thick.<\/p>\n<p>Pat the chicken dry with paper towels and season lightly with salt and black pepper.<\/p>\n<h3>2. Prepare the Coating<\/h3>\n<p>In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper.<\/p>\n<p>In another bowl, whisk together the egg and milk.<\/p>\n<p>Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, making sure it is fully coated.<\/p>\n<p>Then press it firmly into the Parmesan-flour mixture, coating both sides evenly.<\/p>\n<h3>3. Cook the Chicken<\/h3>\n<p>Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.<\/p>\n<p>Once hot, carefully add the coated chicken breasts.<\/p>\n<p>Cook for about <strong>4\u20136 minutes per side<\/strong>, depending on thickness, until golden brown and cooked through.<\/p>\n<p>The chicken should reach an internal temperature of <strong>165\u00b0F (74\u00b0C)<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p>Transfer the chicken to a plate and loosely cover with foil.<\/p>\n<h3>4. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce<\/h3>\n<p>Using the same skillet, melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.<\/p>\n<p>Add the minced garlic and saut\u00e9 for about <strong>30\u201360 seconds<\/strong>, just until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.<\/p>\n<p>Sprinkle in the flour and whisk continuously for about 1 minute.<\/p>\n<p>Slowly pour in the chicken broth while whisking to prevent lumps.<\/p>\n<p>Add the heavy cream and stir well.<\/p>\n<h3>5. Add the Parmesan<\/h3>\n<p>Reduce the heat to low and gradually stir in the Parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n<p>Add the Italian seasoning and garlic powder.<\/p>\n<p>Season with salt and black pepper to taste.<\/p>\n<p>Simmer gently for <strong>2\u20134 minutes<\/strong>, stirring occasionally, until the sauce becomes smooth, creamy, and slightly thickened.<\/p>\n<p>Avoid boiling the sauce after adding the Parmesan.<\/p>\n<h3>6. Combine Everything<\/h3>\n<p>Return the crispy Parmesan chicken to the skillet.<\/p>\n<p>Spoon some of the creamy garlic sauce over the chicken and let it simmer gently for <strong>1\u20132 minutes<\/strong> so the flavors come together.<\/p>\n<p>Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and extra Parmesan cheese.<\/p>\n<h2>\u00a0What to Serve With It<\/h2>\n<p>This chicken is delicious with:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Creamy mashed potatoes<\/li>\n<li>Buttered pasta<\/li>\n<li>Steamed broccoli<\/li>\n<li>Green beans<\/li>\n<li>Roasted vegetables<\/li>\n<li>Garlic bread<\/li>\n<li>Rice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2>\u00a0Tips for the Best Parmesan Chicken<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li>Pound the chicken evenly so it cooks at the same rate.<\/li>\n<li>Press the Parmesan coating firmly onto the chicken before frying.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t cook the chicken over extremely high heat, or the Parmesan coating can burn before the chicken is done.<\/li>\n<li>Use freshly grated Parmesan for the smoothest sauce.<\/li>\n<li>Keep the sauce at a gentle simmer rather than a rolling boil.<\/li>\n<li>For extra garlic flavor, add another clove or two of fresh minced garlic.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Prep Time:<\/strong> 15 minutes<br \/>\n<strong>Cook Time:<\/strong> 20 minutes<br \/>\n<strong>Total Time:<\/strong> 35 minutes<br \/>\n<strong>Servings:<\/strong> 2\u20134<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a0Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce Crispy, golden Parmesan-crusted chicken breasts served with a rich and creamy garlic sauce.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":7321,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7320","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-recipe"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7320","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7320"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7320\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7322,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7320\/revisions\/7322"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7321"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7320"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7320"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/recipes.ukbiddingdirectory.com\/index.php\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7320"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
