Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix until well combined.

Coat the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dip each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating on both sides.

Heat the Skillet: Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet, being careful not to overcrowd.

Cook the Chicken: Cook the chicken for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the coating is golden brown and crispy, and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C).

Add Garlic and Butter: In the same skillet, melt the butter and add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1 minute, stirring continuously, until the garlic becomes aromatic and golden (be cautious not to let it burn). Drizzle the garlic butter over the cooked chicken breasts.

Garnish and Serve: Sprinkle the chicken with fresh chopped parsley and serve immediately. This Garlic Parmesan Chicken pairs well with pasta, mashed potatoes, or a simple green salad.
