1 teaspoon garlic powder

→ For the Creamy Garlic Sauce
08 -
0.5 cup butter
09 -
0.25 cup heavy cream
10 -
2 cloves garlic, minced
11 -
0.25 teaspoon salt
12 -
0.125 teaspoon black pepper
# Instructions:
01 -
Preheat your oven to 200°C (400°F). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper for easy cleanup.
02 -
In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the seasonings. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dip each chicken breast into the Parmesan mixture, pressing firmly to ensure an even coating on all sides.
03 -
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 75°C (165°F). For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for the last 2–3 minutes of cooking.
04 -
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, until fragrant but not browned. Whisk in the heavy cream, salt, and black pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes smooth (about 2–3 minutes).
05 -
Arrange the baked Parmesan-crusted chicken breasts on plates. Drizzle the creamy garlic sauce generously over the chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley or additional grated Parmesan, if desired.
# Notes:
01 -
For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for the last few minutes of baking.
