Ingredients
  

  • 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese freshly grated for best results
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon paprika adds color and depth
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 egg
  • 2 tablespoons milk

Method
 

  1. Sauté the Garlic
  2. In the same skillet used for the chicken, melt the butter over medium heat.
  3. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring constantly until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic, as it can turn bitter.
  4. Add the Cream and Seasoning
  5. Slowly pour in the heavy cream while stirring.
  6. Add the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using).
  7. Stir continuously for about 3-4 minutes until the sauce thickens and becomes smooth.
