Description
Crispy Parmesan chicken with a rich creamy garlic sauce, embodying the warmth and flavors of family traditions.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/2-inch thickness
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, another with beaten eggs, and a third combining panko breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese.
- Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each piece in flour, dip into the egg, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
- In a large frying pan, heat butter and olive oil over medium heat. Fry the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake for an additional 10 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
- In the same pan, sauté the minced garlic until fragrant, then pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream. Add lemon juice and simmer gently until thickened.
- Serve the crispy chicken drizzled with garlic sauce and garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
Notes
For extra flavor, let chicken rest for 15 minutes before frying. Always ensure the oil is hot enough by testing with a breadcrumb.
