Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season them with salt and pepper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of black pepper. Mix well.
Dredge the chicken breasts in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help the coating adhere. Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the chicken with the olive oil, ensuring an even coating. Bake the chicken for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the crust is golden brown.
While the chicken is baking, melt the butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant.
Slowly pour in the heavy cream, whisking constantly to prevent any lumps from forming. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until slightly thickened.
Remove the saucepan from the heat and stir in the grated Parmesan cheese, dried thyme, salt, and black pepper. Whisk until the cheese has melted and the sauce is smooth and creamy.
Once the chicken is baked, transfer the Parmesan Crusted Chicken to a serving platter. Drizzle the Creamy Garlic Sauce over the top or serve it on the side for dipping.
