Creamy Garlic-Parm Chicken

This is one of my very favorite chicken dishes. I have difficulty not moaning with every bite. You can serve it a number of ways. We like it served over spaghetti, the chicken cooked in strips and served on top. Or cook the chicken as crispy cutlets topped with the sauce and served with your favorite sides.

Ingredient

Food ration :

6 servings

boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/2 c.

Cream or half-and-half

1-1/2 c.

Panko breadcrumbs

1/4 c.

Parmesan cheese

3 T.

Butter

3 T.

Garlic, finely minced fresh

3 T.

Flour

3/4 c.

Chicken stock

1-1/4 c.

Heavy cream

3 oz.

Cream cheese, softened

Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Place chicken breast, one at a time, in gallon size freezer Ziploc bag. With meat mallet smooth side, pound to even thickness of about 1/4" or slightly thinner. Cut into strips (or cutlets if you prefer). Pat dry with paper towels and place all chicken pieces in bowl/container with cream.

* Step 2

In a container about the size/shape of a square cake pan, mix together the Panko and 1/4 c. Parmesan cheese.

* Step 3

One at a time, remove chicken pieces from cream, allowing excess to drain, and dredge in the Panko-parm mixture. Use you palm to press the mixture onto the chicken to get good coverage. Set aside on plate or baking sheet to rest while you do the next step. (NOTE: All breaded foods need to rest about 10 minutes before frying so the breading adheres well during frying!)

* Step 4

Add about 3 T. oil to large skillet and heat over medium heat. Fry chicken pieces to golden brown, about 5 minutes per side. Do not crowd skillet; cook in batches.

* Step 5

Place cooked chicken in 200° oven to keep warm while making sauce. Wipe out the skillet with paper towels.

* Step 6

In the large skillet, melt the butter over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook until fragrant, about 3 minutes, being careful not to burn.

* Step 7

Blend in the flour and cook for 1 minute, stirring. Slowly whisk in the chicken stock, stirring constantly, until smooth. Then slowly whisk in the cream, salt and pepper, and cook 5 minutes.
