Ingredients You’ll Need

Before you start, gather these ingredients to ensure your cooking process goes smoothly:

For the Chicken:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 teaspoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

For the Parmesan Crust:

• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons melted butter
• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley (optional, for garnish)

For the Creamy Topping:

• 1/4 cup mayonnaise
• 2 tablespoons sour cream
• 1/4 teaspoon Dijon mustard
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
• A pinch of salt and pepper

Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Chicken

1. Tenderize the Chicken:
   • Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper.
   • Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch thick). This ensures even cooking.
2. Season the Chicken:
   • Drizzle the chicken breasts with olive oil.
   • Sprinkle garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper evenly on both sides.
3. Sear the Chicken:
   • Heat a skillet over medium heat and add a drizzle of olive oil.
   • Sear the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown. The chicken should be cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F) but still juicy.
   • Remove the chicken from the skillet and place it on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish.
