This Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce is a restaurant-worthy dish you can easily make at home.

Crispy parmesan and panko coating, juicy chicken, and a luscious garlic cream sauce come together for an unforgettable dinner that’s both comforting and elegant.

Why You’ll Love This Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Crispy and Flavorful: Parmesan and panko create the perfect golden crust.

Rich and Creamy Sauce: Garlicky, buttery, and perfectly smooth.

Quick and Easy: Ready in about 30 minutes.

Family Favorite: Kid-friendly and fancy enough for guests.

Customizable: Adjust for gluten-free, keto, or dairy-free needs.

What You’ll Need (Ingredient Highlights)

Chicken Breasts: Boneless and skinless, pounded for even cooking.

Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated for the crispiest crust.

Panko Bread Crumbs: For extra crunch.

Eggs: Help the coating adhere.

Heavy Cream: For a rich, silky sauce.

Garlic: Fresh cloves bring bold flavor.

Italian Seasoning: A simple blend to elevate taste.

Olive Oil and Butter: For browning and richness.

Baby Spinach (optional): For a nutritious addition to the sauce.

Pro Tips Before You Start

Pound Chicken Evenly: Ensures even cooking and juicier results.

Use Fresh Parmesan: Pre-shredded often has anti-caking agents that affect texture.

Fry in Batches: Don’t overcrowd the pan to maintain a crispy crust.

Deglaze the Pan: Use a bit of broth if needed to lift flavorful bits into the sauce.

Simmer Sauce Gently: Avoid boiling to keep the cream smooth.

How to Make Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce

Step 1: Prep the Chicken

Pound chicken breasts to even thickness.

Season lightly with salt and pepper.

Step 2: Set Up Dredging Stations

In one shallow bowl, beat the eggs.

In another, mix panko, parmesan, and Italian seasoning.

Step 3: Coat and Cook Chicken

Dip each chicken piece in egg, then press into the panko-parmesan mixture to coat thoroughly.

Heat oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.

Cook chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.

Transfer to a plate and keep warm.

Step 4: Make the Creamy Garlic Sauce

In the same skillet, add minced garlic and cook briefly until fragrant.

Add heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer.

Stir and cook until slightly thickened, about 2–3 minutes.

Add spinach if using and cook until wilted.

Step 5: Combine and Serve

Return chicken to the skillet to coat with sauce or drizzle sauce over plated chicken. Serve hot.

What to Serve It With

Roasted garlic mashed potatoes

Buttered pasta or ravioli

Steamed or roasted vegetables

Garlic bread

Simple green salad with lemon vinaigrette

Variations / Substitutions

Keto Version: Use crushed pork rinds instead of panko.

Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free panko or almond flour.

Dairy-Free: Use dairy-free parmesan and coconut cream for the sauce.

Extra Herby: Add chopped fresh basil or parsley to the sauce.

Add a Zesty Kick: Stir a splash of lemon juice into the sauce.

Storage & Leftovers

Fridge: Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days.

Freezer: Freeze cooked chicken without sauce for up to 2 months.

Reheating: Reheat in a skillet over low heat with a splash of cream or in the oven at 325°F.

Tip: Keep sauce separate when storing for the best texture.

FAQs

Can I bake the chicken instead of frying?
Yes! Bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes until golden and cooked through.

How do I know when the chicken is done?
Internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).

Can I use chicken thighs?
Absolutely! Adjust cooking time as needed.

How thick should the sauce be?
It should lightly coat the back of a spoon but still pour easily.

Can I make the sauce ahead of time?
Best made fresh, but you can prep ingredients ahead for quick cooking.

Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce brings crispy, juicy chicken and a rich, savory sauce together for the ultimate comfort meal.

Notes

  • Panko adds extra crispiness—don’t substitute with regular breadcrumbs unless needed.
  • Let the chicken rest for a couple of minutes after cooking to retain juices.
