Ingredients

1-1 1/2 c. Italian flavor bread crumbs

1/2 c. half-and-half -OR- light cream

SAUCE:

2 tablespoons finely minced garlic

2 tablespoons butter

1/2 c. chicken stock

1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese

1 c heavy cream preferred

2 ounces softened cream cheese

2 tablespoons flour

1/4 teaspoon white pepper

1 teaspoon salt

How to make Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce

Step 1: Place the chicken breasts between sheets of plastic wrap or wax paper and pound using the smooth side of a meat mallet to about 1/4 inch thickness.

Step 2: Drizzle 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a hot large skillet over medium heat.

Step 3: Dredge each chicken in the cream, allowing the excess cream to drip off before coating it in the Italian bread crumbs.

Step 4: Into the hot oil, place the chicken, and cook (in batches) for about 5 minutes per side or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 175 degrees F and the juices run clear. Set the cooked chicken aside. Repeat with the rest of the chicken.

Step 5: Tent the chicken and keep them warm in a 200 degrees F oven.

Step 6: If desired, wipe the skillet. Add the butter and melt over medium heat. Once the butter has melted, add the garlic and cook for about 3 to 5 minutes until aromatic. Stir in the flour and continue to cook for a minute more. Gradually add the chicken stock, stirring until the lumps are gone. Then, stir in the cream. To taste, season with salt and pepper. Continue to cook for additional 5 minutes.

Step 7: To the skillet, add the Parmesan, followed by the cream cheese. Whisk until blended. Over the chicken, pour the sauce.

Step 8: Serve the chicken with creamy garlic sauce right away. Enjoy!
