Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 eggs
  • 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pound chicken breasts to even thickness (about 1/2 inch thick). Season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up breading station with three shallow bowls: flour in first, beaten eggs in second, Parmesan mixed with breadcrumbs and Italian seasoning in third.
  3. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge chicken in flour, dip in egg, then coat with Parmesan breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Cook chicken 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove from skillet and set aside.
  5. In same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant (about 1 minute). Add chicken broth and heavy cream, simmer until sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over top, and simmer 2 minutes to heat through.

Notes

For extra crispy crust, use Panko breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan. Don't overcrowd the skillet - cook chicken in batches if needed. Serve with mashed potatoes or pasta for a complete meal.
