Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season with salt and black pepper.
Coat the Chicken:
Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip into the beaten eggs, ensuring each piece is well-coated.
Finally, coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. The breadcrumb mixture should include breadcrumbs, grated parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Sear the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
Bake the Chicken: Place the seared chicken in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
Prepare the Garlic Parmesan Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant.
Stir in the heavy cream, bringing it to a gentle simmer.
Add the grated parmesan cheese, salt, and black pepper. Stir until the cheese is melted and the sauce is smooth.
Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon the garlic parmesan sauce over each breast. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired.
