- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp salt
- 1/8 tsp black pepper

🥣 Instructions Step-by-Step
1️⃣ Preheat the oven:
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
2️⃣ Prepare the chicken:
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper. Dredge each chicken breast in the mixture, coating both sides evenly.
3️⃣ Bake the chicken:
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, or until fully cooked and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
4️⃣ Make the sauce:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for about 1 minute until fragrant. Whisk in the cream, salt, and pepper, and cook for 3–5 minutes, until the sauce thickens slightly and becomes smooth.
5️⃣ Serve:
Plate the baked chicken breasts and generously drizzle them with the creamy garlic sauce.
