Ingredients

Scale

For the Chicken:

  • 4 small–medium chicken breasts (or 2 large, halved)

  • Salt and pepper, to taste

  • 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Crispy Coating:

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs

For the Creamy Garlic Sauce:

  • 3–4 cloves garlic, minced

  • 1 cup light cream or heavy cream

  • 1 tbsp Italian seasoning or oregano

  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 cup chopped spinach (optional)

Instructions

1. Prep the Chicken: Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.

2. Coat with Crunch: Mix Parmesan and panko in a shallow dish. Press onto both sides of the chicken.

3. Sear to Perfection: Heat olive oil in a skillet. Cook chicken 3–4 mins per side until golden and crispy.

4. Make the Creamy Sauce: Lower heat. Add garlic and sauté for 1 minute. Stir in cream and Italian seasoning. Add spinach if using, then stir in Parmesan cheese.

5. Simmer: Cover and cook 8–10 more minutes until chicken is fully done (165°F inside).

6. Serve Warm: Plate and spoon sauce generously over the crispy chicken. Enjoy!

Notes

  • For extra crunch, press the coating on firmly.

  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy touch.

  • Freshly grated Parmesan = flavor magic.
