Finishing Touches
- 4 tablespoons olive oil, divided to sauté and bake

Instructions
Cooking Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
- In a shallow dish, mix together Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- Spread flour on a plate and whisk together eggs and milk in another shallow dish.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip in egg mixture, and then coat in breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat and sear the coated chicken for 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- In a small saucepan, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil, add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Stir in chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer, then add heavy cream and let the sauce simmer for about 5 minutes.
- Once baked, pour the garlic sauce over the chicken and sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For best results, let chicken rest before serving and avoid overcrowding the skillet while searing.
