Ingredients
  

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

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pound chicken breasts to even thickness (about 1/2 inch). Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with Parmesan cheese mixed with panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, then dip in egg mixture, and finally press into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C). Transfer to a plate and keep warm.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 30 seconds). Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, then bring to a simmer.
  5. Stir in Parmesan cheese until melted and sauce thickens slightly. Season with Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet and spoon sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For extra crispy chicken, let the breaded chicken rest for 10 minutes before cooking. Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor. Don't overcrowd the skillet - cook in batches if necessary to maintain crispiness.
