- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 2 tsp Italian seasoning
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pat chicken breasts dry and season both sides generously with salt and pepper.
- In one bowl, mix panko breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese. In another bowl, whisk together olive oil and Italian seasoning.
- Dip each chicken breast in the olive oil mixture followed by the panko-Parmesan blend, pressing firmly to adhere.
- Place breaded chicken on the baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C).
