  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 cup butter, divided
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/8 teaspoon black pepper

  3. Dredge chicken in flour, then press into Parmesan mixture to coat.
  4. Melt 1/4 cup butter in skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken 6-8 minutes per side until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Notes

  • For the crispiest crust, use freshly grated Parmesan.
  • To switch things up, try adding sautéed spinach or mushrooms to the garlic sauce.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F for food safety.
  • Don’t overcrowd the pan when cooking chicken – cook in batches if necessary.
