Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 4 pieces Chicken breasts, boneless and skinless For best results
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan cheese Can substitute with Pecorino Romano
  • 1/2 cup Grated Romano cheese Enhances the cheesy flavor
  • 1 cup All-purpose flour No alternatives needed
  • 2 pieces Eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs Panko crumbs add extra crunch
  • Salt and pepper, to taste Essential for seasoning
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For frying
  • 1 cup Heavy cream Can substitute with half-and-half
  • 2 cloves Garlic, minced Fresh garlic gives the best flavor
  • Fresh parsley, for garnish Adds color and freshness

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up the breading station: Place the flour in one dish, beaten eggs in another, and a mixture of Parmesan, Romano cheese, and breadcrumbs in a third.
  4. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat with the cheese and breadcrumb mixture.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, heat olive oil over medium-high heat.
  2. Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side. Remove from the skillet and place in a baking dish.
  3. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook until fragrant.
  4. Pour in the heavy cream and stir well, scraping up any browned bits from the pan.
  5. Pour the creamy sauce over the cooked chicken breasts in the baking dish.
  6. Bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Notes

Ensure the chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking. Let the chicken sit for a few minutes after breading to help the coating adhere better. Use a digital thermometer to check the internal temperature, which should reach 165°F. Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for an elevated flavor profile. Experiment with different herbs, such as thyme or rosemary, for added depth in the cream sauce.
