Instructions:

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

   Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.

   In a skillet over medium heat, warm the olive oil, then add the chicken breasts.

   Cook each side for 5-6 minutes, until golden brown and thoroughly cooked.

   Transfer the chicken to a baking dish for the final steps.

2. Make the Parmesan Crust:

   In a small bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, and melted butter until well combined.

   Set this mixture aside; it will form the crispy topping that everyone loves.

3. Prepare the Garlic Cream Sauce:

   In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.

   Add the minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant but not brown.

   Pour in the heavy cream, followed by the grated Parmesan, stirring gently as it begins to thicken.

   Add salt and pepper to taste.

4. Assemble and Bake:

   Spoon a layer of the creamy garlic sauce over each chicken breast.

   Sprinkle shredded mozzarella and grated Parmesan over the sauce.

   Add the panko-Parmesan crust mixture on top of each piece.

5. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the crust turns golden.
