Creating Crispy Parmesan Chicken with a Dreamy Garlic Cream Sauce is simple if you follow these steps:

1. Prepare Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. This helps to ensure a crispy coating.
2. Set Up Breading Station: In three separate bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
3. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off excess. Next, dip it into the egg, allowing excess to drip off, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Press down firmly to adhere.
4. Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-6 minutes on each side, until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
5. Make the Garlic Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring well to combine. Bring to a simmer, then reduce the heat to low.
6. Season the Sauce: Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste. Allow it to thicken slightly for about 3-5 minutes, stirring occasionally. If desired, add more grated Parmesan for extra flavor.
7. Combine and Serve: Return the crispy chicken to the sauce. Let it simmer for a minute, allowing the chicken to soak in the flavors before serving.
