Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

4 tablespoons olive oil

3 tablespoons butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup heavy cream

½ cup chicken broth

½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Start by placing the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Pound them gently to an even thickness of about ½ inch. This ensures even cooking.

    Dredging Stations: Set up three shallow dishes for dredging. In the first dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning. In the second dish, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper. In the third dish, place the grated Parmesan cheese.

      Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast first into the flour mixture, shaking off excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken with the Parmesan cheese, pressing gently to ensure it adheres well.

        Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

          Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, add butter and let it melt. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Pour in the heavy cream and chicken broth, stirring to combine. Allow the sauce to simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.

            Add Red Pepper Flakes: If desired, stir in the red pepper flakes for a hint of heat. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.

              Combine Chicken and Sauce: Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spooning the sauce over the top. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to absorb the flavors.

                Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley. Serve the Parmesan Chicken with creamy garlic sauce over pasta, rice, or alongside steamed vegetables for a complete meal.
