Ingredients

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts, halved lengthwise
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 0.25 cup all -purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs , beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves garlic , minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon cracked black pepper

Instructions

  • Butterfly the chicken breasts and season both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Prepare a three-stage breading station: one bowl with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of Parmesan cheese, Panko, and garlic powder.
  • Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip into the egg wash, and press firmly into the Parmesan mixture to ensure full coverage.
  • Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear chicken for 5 minutes per side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove chicken and tent with foil.
  • In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 60 seconds until fragrant.
  • Deglaze the pan with chicken broth, scraping up browned bits, then whisk in the heavy cream and oregano.
  • Simmer the sauce for 4-6 minutes until reduced by one-third and thickened to a nappe consistency.
  • Return the chicken to the skillet to coat with sauce or plate the chicken and ladle the garlic cream sauce over the top immediately.
