Ingredients
For the chicken

- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/8 teaspoon black pepper
For the creamy garlic sauce
- 1/2 cup butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 teaspoon salt

Instructions
Preparing the chicken
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast into the mixture, ensuring they are evenly coated.
- Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until they are cooked through.
Making the sauce
- While the chicken is baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
- Whisk in the heavy cream, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Cook and stir the mixture until the sauce is smooth and slightly thickened.
Serving the dish
- Once the chicken is done baking, arrange the chicken breasts on plates and drizzle generously with the Creamy Garlic Sauce.

Notes
For extra flavor, consider marinating the chicken in some Italian herbs before coating it. Ensure the butter is melted but not browned while preparing the sauce to keep it creamy.
