Ingredients
  

Crispy Parmesan Chicken
  • 2 medium-sized chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 1/4 cup vegetable oil for frying
Rich Garlic Sauce
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic minced
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
  • salt and pepper to taste

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Shallow Dishes (3)
  • Tongs
  • Whisk
  • Cutting Board and Knife

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise to create thinner cutlets, then season both sides with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for the panko-Parmesan mixture.
  3. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, then dip into the egg, and finally coat thoroughly in the panko-Parmesan mixture, pressing firmly to ensure it adheres.
Cooking
  1. Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat, then fry the breaded chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove the chicken and set it aside.
  2. In the same skillet, melt butter and add minced garlic, sautéing for about 1 minute until fragrant.
  3. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, bring the mixture to a simmer, and then stir in grated Parmesan cheese until it melts and the sauce slightly thickens. Season the sauce with salt and pepper to taste.
Serving
  1. Return the cooked chicken to the skillet, spoon the rich garlic sauce over each piece, and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately for a delicious easy dinner.

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure your oil is hot enough before adding the chicken. You can also pat the chicken dry before breading to help the coating adhere better.
