– 2 large eggs

Instructions
Creating delicious Crispy Parmesan Chicken with a Dreamy Garlic Cream Sauce is straightforward when you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2. Prep the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning on both sides.
3. Set up the breading station: In one bowl, beat the eggs. In another bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese with the breadcrumbs.
4. Bread the chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off. Then, coat it with the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
5. Heat the oil: In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat.
6. Cook the chicken: Sear each chicken breast for about 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy.
7. Transfer to oven: After browning, place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven for 10–12 minutes until cooked through.
8. Prepare the sauce: In the same skillet, lower the heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring constantly. Bring to a gentle simmer.
9. Thicken the sauce: Allow the cream to thicken slightly, about 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently.
10. Serve: Once the chicken is done, plate it and drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Garnish with chopped parsley.
