- ½ cup Heavy cream brings creamy luxury to the sauce

Instructions
Step-by-Step Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pound the chicken to an even thickness of about ½ inch between plastic wrap.
- Mix grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish.
- Set up a dredging station with all-purpose flour on one plate and a mixture of eggs and milk in another.
- Dredge the chicken in flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
- Coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the breaded chicken for 3–4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15–20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- In a saucepan, heat the remaining olive oil and sauté the minced garlic for 1–2 minutes.
- Stir in chicken broth, simmer for a few minutes, then add heavy cream and simmer until slightly thickened.
- Remove the chicken from the oven and pour the garlic sauce over each piece. Garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
Pound chicken evenly for best cooking results. Ensure oil is hot before frying to maintain crispiness.
