Instructions

Pound chicken breasts slightly to even thickness. Marinate in buttermilk for at least 30 minutes (up to overnight for tenderness). Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt & pepper. Dredge marinated chicken in breadcrumb mixture until coated.
Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium-high heat. Pan fry chicken breasts until golden brown (about 4–5 minutes per side). Place on a baking sheet and top with mozzarella + Parmesan. Broil for 2–3 minutes until cheese melts and crust is golden.
In a saucepan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Stir in flour to make a roux, cooking 1 minute. Gradually whisk in cream and chicken broth. Add Parmesan and Italian herbs, simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
Plate chicken, drizzle generously with garlic cream sauce. Sprinkle fresh parsley for garnish.

Notes

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken overnight.
Use panko breadcrumbs for a crunchier texture.
Adjust the seasoning according to your taste preferences.
