Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 4 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 1 cup low-sodium chicken broth
  • 2 tsp dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a large baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
  3. In a shallow dish, mix Panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese until well combined.
  4. Dip each seasoned chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to adhere well.
  5. Place coated chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish and bake for about 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
  6. While the chicken bakes, melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  7. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth; stir constantly.
  8. Add dried Italian herbs and let the sauce simmer gently for about five minutes until it thickens slightly. Adjust seasoning as needed.
  9. Serve the chicken hot, drizzled with garlic cream sauce.
