Ingredients

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

Salt and pepper to taste

4 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon butter

6 cloves garlic, minced

1 cup chicken broth

1 tablespoon lemon juice

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

In a shallow bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.

In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

Dip each chicken breast first in the beaten eggs, allowing the excess to drip off, then coat it thoroughly with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet.

Drizzle the chicken breasts with 2 tablespoons of olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

While the chicken is baking, prepare the garlic sauce. In a skillet over medium heat, melt the butter with the remaining 2 tablespoons of olive oil.

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and lightly golden.

Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, stirring well. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and allow it to reduce for about 5-7 minutes, or until thickened slightly.

Once the chicken is done baking, remove it from the oven and drizzle the rich garlic sauce over the top.

Serve the crispy Parmesan chicken on a platter, garnished with chopped fresh parsley.
