  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • For the Parmesan Crust
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 3 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream or Greek yogurt for a lighter option
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp lemon juice optional

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken:

  • Set your oven to 375O F (190O C) and preheat it.
  • For even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. Add garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper to taste.

Sear the Chicken:

  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Brown the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Place the chicken in a baking dish.

Make the Parmesan Crust:

  • Spoon Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, melted butter and parsley into a small bowl. Mix until crumbly. This mixture is evenly spread over the chicken breasts.

Bake the Chicken:

  • Then, turn on your oven and let the dish bake for 20-25 minutes or until its internal temperature hits 165°F (74°C).

Prepare the Cream Sauce:

  • Add butter to the same skillet and melt over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, ~1 min.
  • Add heavy cream and chicken broth, continuing to whisk. Add grated Parmesan cheese and simmer until the sauce thickens 3 to 5 minutes. Add lemon juice to taste, if desired.

Assemble the Dish:

  • Spoon the cream sauce over the cooked chicken or serve it alongside. Garnish with fresh parsley.

Serve and Enjoy:

  • Pair the chicken with your favorite sides, like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.

Notes

For a healthier version, use low-fat cheese and Greek yogurt in the sauce.

Almond flour can replace breadcrumbs for a keto-friendly option.
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
