Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil or butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to an even 1/2-inch thickness. This ensures even cooking and maximum crispiness.
  2. Create three shallow bowls: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs mixed with parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, and finally press firmly into the parmesan-breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
  4. Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Pour in heavy cream, add Italian seasoning and salt, then simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened. Stir in parmesan cheese until smooth.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

For extra crispiness, let the breaded chicken rest for 5 minutes before cooking. For even cooking, pound chicken breasts to uniform thickness. If sauce thickens too much, add a tablespoon of milk or cream to reach desired consistency.
