Parmesan Crusted Chicken Garlic (Printable Version)

Golden parmesan chicken with rich creamy garlic sauce makes a fast, flavorful meal for any night.

# What You'll Need:

→ Chicken

01 - 4 small to medium chicken breasts or 2 large chicken breasts, halved
02 - Salt, to taste
03 - Black pepper, to taste
04 - 2 tablespoons olive oil

→ Crispy Coating

05 - 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
06 - 50 grams panko breadcrumbs

→ Creamy Garlic Sauce

07 - 3 cloves garlic, minced
08 - 250 millilitres light cream or heavy cream
09 - 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning or dried oregano
10 - 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese
11 - 30 grams fresh spinach, chopped (optional)

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season them generously on both sides with salt and black pepper.
02 - Combine 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese and 50 grams panko breadcrumbs in a shallow dish. Lightly press the mixture onto both sides of each chicken breast to evenly coat.
03 - Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add coated chicken breasts and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a golden, crispy crust forms.
04 - Reduce heat to medium-low. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant, stirring to avoid burning. Pour in the cream and sprinkle in the Italian seasoning or oregano, stirring well to combine. If using, add the chopped spinach and allow it to wilt. Stir in 50 grams grated Parmesan cheese, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
05 - Cover the skillet and cook the chicken for an additional 8 to 10 minutes over gentle heat, or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning as needed.
06 - Arrange the chicken on serving plates and generously spoon the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Serve immediately.

# Additional Notes:

01 - For extra crispiness, use a combination of fresh Parmesan and panko for the coating.
02 - Add a pinch of crushed red pepper flakes to the sauce for a touch of heat.
03 - Use freshly grated Parmesan for optimal texture and flavor.
