Ingredients

For the Parmesan Crusted Chicken:
2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:
1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

1. Preheat and Prepare
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup and even cooking.
2. Coat the Chicken
In a shallow dish, mix together:
Flour
Parmesan cheese
Garlic powder
Onion powder
Salt and pepper
Pat chicken breasts dry, then press each piece into the mixture, coating all sides well.
3. Bake to Perfection
Place the coated chicken on your prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 15–20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is lightly golden.
4. Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce
In a small saucepan over medium heat:
Melt the butter.
Stir in the heavy cream and minced garlic.
Add salt and pepper.
Simmer gently, whisking frequently, until the sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened — about 4–5 minutes.

5. Plate and Serve
Arrange your baked chicken on plates and drizzle generously with the warm garlic cream sauce. Garnish with a bit of fresh parsley or extra Parmesan if desired
