Follow these simple steps to create your Crispy Parmesan Chicken with a Dreamy Garlic Cream Sauce:

1. Prep the Chicken: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). Then, place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness for uniform cooking.

2. Prepare the Breading Stations: Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. This will create a flavorful coating for the chicken.

3. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess. Next, dip it into the eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it’s evenly covered.

4. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, melt half of the butter over medium heat. Once melted, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through. You can do this in batches if necessary. Move the cooked chicken to a baking sheet and place in the oven to keep warm.

5. Make the Garlic Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, add the remaining butter and minced garlic, sautéing for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Add the heavy cream and Italian seasoning, stirring together. Allow the sauce to simmer for about 5-7 minutes until it thickens slightly.

6. Combine: Once the sauce has thickened, return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over the top. Let it simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes so the chicken absorbs some flavors.

7. Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and sprinkle with fresh parsley for color and added flavor. Serve immediately while hot!
