Ingredients

  • 4 boneless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breasts lightly so they cook evenly.
  2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with parmesan mixed with breadcrumbs.
  3. Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip into eggs, then coat in the parmesan breadcrumb mix.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet and cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden and cooked through.
  5. Remove chicken and set aside. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant.
  6. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stir well, and let the parmesan melt into the sauce.
  7. Season with salt and pepper, then return chicken to the pan to coat with sauce.
  8. Serve warm with fresh parsley sprinkled on top.

Notes

If you want an extra crispy crust, double-coat the chicken by dipping it in the egg and breadcrumb mixture twice. This recipe also works with chicken thighs if you prefer dark meat.
