Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Juice of 1 lemon
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels.
- Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for flour mixed with salt and pepper, another for beaten eggs, and the last for breadcrumbs combined with Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each chicken breast into the flour mixture, then egg, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and sear chicken until golden brown (about 4-5 minutes per side).
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Add heavy cream, scraping up browned bits from the pan.
- Stir in grated Parmesan and Italian seasoning until melted; season with salt, pepper, and lemon juice.
- Pour the sauce over the chicken and bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
