4
portions15
minutes25
minutesIngredients
- 1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 4-5 pieces)
- 1 cup all-purpose flour (or gluten-free alternative)
- 1 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp salt (adjust to taste)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs (or regular breadcrumbs)
- 3 large eggs, beaten (room temp)
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (freshly shredded is best)
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, softened (plus more for serving)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream (or half-and-half)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400F (200C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
- Cut the chicken into thin cutlets, about 1/4 inch thick. Season with salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder on both sides. Dredge in flour, shaking off excess.
- Beat eggs in a separate shallow dish. Dip floured chicken pieces in beaten eggs, then coat in panko breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese. Place coated chicken on prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with melted butter (about 2 tbsp).
- Bake for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through. While the chicken cooks, melt remaining 2 tbsp of butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat.
- Add minced garlic to the saucepan and cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly (don’t let it burn!). Pour in heavy cream and stir to combine. Bring mixture to a simmer and cook for an additional 2-3 minutes or until slightly thickened. Remove from heat.
- Once chicken is done baking, remove from oven and brush with creamy sauce. Sprinkle extra Parmesan cheese on top (because you can never have too much!). Return to the oven for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the cheese to melt.
The result? Crispy, golden-brown chicken smothered in a rich and creamy garlic-parmesan sauce. Serve with pasta, garlic bread, or as a standalone meal your call!

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 lb fresh asparagus, trimmed
- 1 lemon, cut into wedges (optional)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 425F (220C). Line a baking sheet with foil for easy cleanup.
- Rinse the chicken and pat dry with paper towels. Season with salt, pepper, and half of the chopped rosemary and thyme. Place on the prepared baking sheet.
- In a small bowl, whisk together olive oil, minced garlic, and remaining herbs. Brush the mixture evenly over the chicken, making sure to get some under the skin as well. Roast in the preheated oven for 30 minutes.
- While the chicken is cooking, toss the asparagus with a drizzle of olive oil, salt, and pepper on a separate baking sheet. Roast in the oven for 12-15 minutes or until tender but still crisp. Toss halfway through to prevent burning.
- After 30 minutes, reduce oven temperature to 375F (190C). Continue roasting the chicken for an additional 20-25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165F (74C). Baste with pan juices every 10 minutes to keep it moist and golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before carving. Serve hot, garnished with fresh herbs and lemon wedges if desired.
