  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • ¼ cup olive oil for frying
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Start by flattening the chicken breasts to even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. Season with salt and pepper to enhance flavor.
  2. Place flour in a shallow dish. In another dish, beat the eggs. Combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a third dish. Dip each chicken breast in flour, then egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the hot oil and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Drain excess oil on paper towels.
  4. For the sauce, melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in 1 cup heavy cream, bring to a simmer. Stir in grated Parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Add fresh herbs like basil or thyme if desired.
  5. Serve the crispy chicken on a bed of pasta or with roasted vegetables. Drizzle with garlic cream sauce, garnish with parsley, and sprinkle additional Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • To keep the chicken crispy, reheat in an oven or air fryer. The sauce can be gently reheated on the stovetop, stirring occasionally to prevent separation.
  • For a healthier version, bake the breaded chicken instead of frying. You can also substitute chicken or turkey cutlets in place of chicken breasts.
  • Use dairy-free options like almond milk and nutritional yeast for a vegan variation.
