A delightful dish featuring crunchy, golden chicken cutlets topped with a silky garlic-cream sauce, perfect for any occasion.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces boneless chicken breasts (about 1 to 1.25 pounds total)
  • 1 cup (100 g) finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup (120 g) breadcrumbs (plain or panko)
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup (240 ml) heavy cream
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Position a rack in the center.
  2. Put each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound gently to about 1 inch thick.
  3. Season both sides of the chicken with salt and pepper.
  4. Set up a breading station with beaten eggs in one bowl and a mix of breadcrumbs and Parmesan in another.
  5. Dip each chicken piece into the egg, then press into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mix to coat thoroughly.
  6. Arrange the breaded chicken on a greased baking sheet, spaced apart.
  7. Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, until golden brown and the internal temperature is 165°F (75°C).
  8. For extra crispiness, broil for 2 to 3 minutes, watching closely.
  9. While the chicken bakes, melt the butter or heat the olive oil in a saucepan over medium heat and sauté the garlic until fragrant.
  10. Pour in the heavy cream and simmer for about 5 minutes until thickened.
  11. Season the sauce with salt, pepper, and optional red pepper flakes before serving.
  12. Let the chicken rest, then spoon the sauce over each breast and garnish with parsley.

Notes

For added flavor, feel free to incorporate sautéed vegetables or fresh herbs into the sauce.
