– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 2 teaspoons garlic powder

Instructions
Creating Crispy Parmesan Chicken with a Dreamy Garlic Cream Sauce is simple when you follow these easy steps:
1. Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C).
2. Prepare the Chicken: Take the chicken breasts and pound them to an even thickness of about half an inch for uniform cooking.
3. Set Up Dredging Station: Place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in three separate shallow dishes.
4. Dredge Chicken: Start by coating each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip them into the eggs and finally coat them thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
5. Sauté Chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts. Sauté them for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
6. Transfer to Oven: After browning, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake the chicken for 15-20 minutes until cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
7. Make Garlic Cream Sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt a little butter. Sauté minced garlic until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes, being careful not to burn it.
8. Add Cream: Pour in the heavy cream and bring it to a gentle simmer, stirring frequently. Let it cook for about 5 minutes until it thickens slightly.
9. Season Sauce: Adjust the seasoning of the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Remove it from heat once thickened.
10. Serve: Once the chicken is done baking, plate it and generously drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley for an inviting presentation.
