Crispy Parmesan Chicken with Garlic Sauce Delight
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 0.25 cup all-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 0.5 cup chicken broth
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
- In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, Italian herbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs. In a third dish, place the flour.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, followed by the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to adhere the breadcrumbs well.
- Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the tops with 2 tablespoons of olive oil.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- While the chicken is baking, prepare the garlic sauce. In a skillet over medium heat, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.
- Carefully pour in the chicken broth and let it simmer for about 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
- When the chicken is done, drizzle the garlic sauce over the crispy chicken breasts and garnish with fresh parsley.
💡 Chef's Notes
Serve the chicken on a large platter, drizzling extra garlic sauce around, and sprinkle with additional Parmesan and parsley for a pop of color. Consider pairing with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
