Parmesan Crusted Chicken Sauce (Printer-Friendly Version)

Crispy Parmesan-coated chicken complemented by a smooth, garlicky cream sauce for a flavorful dish.

# Required Ingredients:

→ Chicken Coating

01 - 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
02 - 60 grams all-purpose flour
03 - 25 grams grated Parmesan cheese
04 - 5 grams garlic powder
05 - 2.5 grams onion powder
06 - 1.25 grams salt
07 - 0.6 grams black pepper

→ Creamy Garlic Sauce

08 - 115 grams unsalted butter
09 - 60 milliliters heavy cream
10 - 2 cloves garlic, minced
11 - 1.25 grams salt
12 - 0.6 grams black pepper

# Step-by-Step Instructions:

01 - Set your oven to 200°C and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 - Combine flour, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish. Press each chicken breast into the mixture, coating evenly on both sides.
03 - Place coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 to 20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 74°C.
04 - In a saucepan over medium heat, melt butter. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 1 to 2 minutes until fragrant. Add heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Simmer while stirring frequently for 5 to 7 minutes until the sauce thickens slightly.
05 - Transfer baked chicken to serving plates and spoon the creamy garlic sauce generously over the top.

# Handy Cooking Tips:

01 - Pat chicken dry before coating to ensure the crust adheres well. Use a meat thermometer to avoid overcooking; remove chicken once internal temperature reaches 74°C. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes after baking to retain juiciness.
