Ingredients
- Boneless skinless chicken breasts: provide lean protein and stay juicy inside the crust look for firm plump cuts
- All purpose flour: helps the cheesy coating stick and crisps up in the oven choose unbleached for best flavor
- Grated Parmesan cheese: infuses the crust with nutty richness Italian brands are ideal but any fresh Parmesan works well
- Garlic powder and onion powder: give the breading subtle depth be sure your spices are fresh for the boldest taste
- Salt and black pepper: seasons the crust use freshly cracked black pepper if possible
- Butter: is the base for the creamy sauce opt for unsalted to control seasoning
- Heavy cream: creates a velvety sauce with just the right richness use full fat for best results
