Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup heavy cream
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 cup chicken broth
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare the chicken by slicing it butterfly-style or pounding it to uniform thickness. Season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Coat each chicken breast in flour, then dip in egg wash, and finally press into the breadcrumb mixture until fully coated.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, melt butter and olive oil. Fry the chicken for about 4–5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
- In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth while scraping up any bits from the pan.
- Stir in heavy cream and remaining Parmesan; let simmer until thickened.
- Return the crispy chicken to the skillet or serve individually topped with sauce.
