A delightful dish featuring succulent chicken fillets encased in a crispy, cheesy crust topped with a rich and velvety garlic sauce.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 small–medium chicken breasts (or 2 large, halved)
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup light cream or heavy cream
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning or oregano
  • ½ cup Parmesan cheese, grated
  • 1 cup spinach, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese and ½ cup panko breadcrumbs. Press this mixture onto both sides of each chicken breast to create a crispy crust.
  3. Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the coated chicken breasts into the skillet and sear them for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they turn a lovely golden brown.
  4. Reduce the heat to medium-low and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about a minute until it becomes fragrant.
  5. Pour in the cream and mix in your Italian seasoning or oregano. If you’re including spinach, this is the perfect time to add it so it can wilt into the sauce.
  6. Stir in another ½ cup of grated Parmesan cheese and let the sauce thicken slightly.
  7. Cover the skillet and continue to cook the chicken for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  8. Taste the sauce for seasoning and adjust as needed.
  9. For serving, plate the chicken breasts and generously drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top.

Notes

Serve with a fresh green salad, roasted vegetables, or creamy mashed potatoes. Pairs well with a chilled white wine.
