Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
- ¾ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
- ¾ cup panko breadcrumbs
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup chicken broth
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mix of Parmesan and panko breadcrumbs.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in eggs, then coat with Parmesan-panko mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Stir in chicken broth and heavy cream, bringing the sauce to a gentle simmer. Cook until slightly thickened, about 3–4 minutes.
- Return chicken to the pan or drizzle sauce over plated chicken. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.
Notes
- For extra crispy chicken, double-dip: flour, egg, breadcrumb mixture twice.
- Use a meat thermometer — chicken is done at 165°F internal temperature.
- Serve with mashed potatoes, pasta, or steamed veggies for a complete meal.
- Add a splash of white wine to the sauce for extra flavor!
