Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to ½-inch thickness)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Place chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound to an even ½-inch thickness. This ensures even cooking and maximum crispiness.
  2. Create three separate bowls: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with Parmesan cheese mixed with Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, then dip in egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the Parmesan mixture. Press gently to help the coating adhere.
  4. Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, melt remaining butter. Add minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream and Parmesan cheese until smooth and slightly thickened.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Use one hand for dry ingredients and the other for wet ingredients to prevent clumping. Cook chicken in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Allow cooked chicken to rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
