4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon flour
1 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream

Salt and pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

‍ Instructions

Step 1: Prep the Chicken

Mix Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
Dip each chicken breast in beaten eggs, then dredge in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, pressing to coat evenly.

Step 2: Cook the Chicken

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

Step 3: Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce

In the same pan, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds.
Stir in flour and cook for 1 minute.
Slowly whisk in chicken broth and heavy cream.
Simmer for 3–4 minutes until slightly thickened.
Stir in Parmesan cheese, season with salt and pepper, and let the sauce thicken to your desired consistency.

Step 4: Serve

Return chicken to the pan or pour the sauce over plated chicken.
Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot.
