Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ¼ cup olive oil for frying
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even ½-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin
  2. Create three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, and black pepper
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through
  5. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat, add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant
  6. Pour in heavy cream and chicken broth, then whisk constantly until smooth
  7. Stir in Parmesan cheese and Italian seasoning and cook for 2-3 minutes until sauce thickens slightly
  8. Return chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over each piece, garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately

Notes

Don't overcrowd the skillet - cook chicken in batches if needed. Use freshly grated Parmesan for better melting. Let the sauce thicken naturally - avoid boiling to prevent cream separation. Serve immediately for best crispy texture. Perfect for meal prep - prep the chicken coating ahead and store in fridge.
