Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup low-sodium chicken broth
2 tbsp olive oil
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Coat each chicken breast in the mixture.
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear chicken on each side for about 3-4 minutes until golden brown.
Transfer seared chicken to the baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
In another skillet, heat olive oil over medium heat and sauté minced garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add heavy cream and chicken broth; stir well.
Once the chicken is done baking, drizzle the creamy garlic sauce over each piece before serving.
