# Step-by-Step Guide:
01 -
Set oven to 375°F (190°C) and allow it to fully preheat.
02 -
Combine all-purpose flour, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. In a separate bowl, mix grated Parmesan cheese with panko breadcrumbs. Place beaten eggs in a third bowl.
03 -
Dredge each chicken breast in flour mixture, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with the Parmesan-panko mixture. Press the coating onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well.
04 -
Melt butter with olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add coated chicken breasts and sear for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden-brown.
05 -
Transfer seared chicken breasts to a baking dish and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
06 -
In the same skillet, combine heavy cream and chicken broth. Stir continuously over medium heat, bringing to a gentle simmer for 2 to 3 minutes until slightly thickened.
07 -
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese over the baked chicken breasts and pour the creamy garlic sauce on top. Let rest briefly before serving.
# Helpful Suggestions:
01 -
Customize the sauce by simmering longer for extra thickness or adding more garlic for intensity. For added heat, incorporate red pepper flakes or a dash of cayenne into the sauce.
02 -
Pair with Caesar salad or herb-infused rice pilaf to complement flavors and enhance presentation.
03 -
To adapt this dish for gluten-free or keto diets, substitute almond flour for all-purpose flour and use gluten-free panko.
04 -
Butter and olive oil provide a balance of rich flavor and heart-healthy monounsaturated fats.
