Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian seasoned)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pound chicken breasts to an even 1/2-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with parmesan cheese and paprika.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb-parmesan mixture.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, then add chicken broth, heavy cream, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Sprinkle with extra parmesan and fresh parsley. Serve immediately!

Notes

Don't overcrowd the skillet - cook chicken in batches if needed. Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches 165°F internally. You can bread the chicken up to 2 hours before cooking.
