Parmesan Crusted Chicken with Creamy Garlic Sauce

 Preheat oven to 400°. 

Coating:
1/2 c. Flour
1/4 c. Parmesan cheese (grated) 
1 tsp. Garlic powder 
1/2 tsp. Onion powder 
1/4 tsp. Salt 
1/8 tsp. Pepper

1 egg, well beaten 
Dip chicken breasts in coating mixture, followed by egg and again in the coating mixture. Place on parchment lined baking sheet, leaving plenty of space between breast pieces. Bake 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the meat is 165°. You can broil 1-2 minutes for crispier crust. While the chicken is baking, prepare the creamy garlic sauce.

Sauce:
1/2 c. Butter
2 Garlic cloves, minced
1/4 c. Heavy cream
1/4 tsp. Salt
1/8 tsp. Pepper 

Melt butter; add garlic and saute 1 minute until fragrant. Whisk in cream, salt and pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly. 

Recommend doubling the sauce to serve over potatoes or rice!
