Follow these steps to achieve a perfectly crispy and creamy Parmesan chicken that will leave everyone asking for seconds:

1. Prepare the Chicken: Start by patting the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This ensures the coating sticks well.

2. Set Up Breading Stations: In three separate bowls, set up a breading station. Place the flour in the first bowl, beat the eggs in the second, and mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper in the third.

3. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, making sure it’s fully coated. Shake off any excess flour, then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally, press it into the breadcrumb mixture until well coated.

4. Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium-high heat. Ensure the oil is hot enough by adding a pinch of breadcrumbs; if they sizzle, it’s ready.

5. Fry the Chicken: Carefully add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for 6-7 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through. Once done, transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

6. Make the Garlic Cream Sauce: In the same skillet, remove excess oil, leaving about a tablespoon. Add the minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, stirring consistently.

7. Simmer the Sauce: Allow the cream to simmer gently for 3-5 minutes, thickening slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

8. Combine: Return the crispy chicken breasts to the skillet, coating them in the creamy garlic sauce.

9. Garnish: Before serving, sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley for a vibrant touch.

10. Serve Hot: Present the dish warm, ensuring each piece is generously coated in the dreamy sauce.
