Recipe: Crispy Parmesan-Crusted Chicken

Ingredients:

For the Chicken:

Advertisements
  • 2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko for extra crunch)
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or butter (for frying)

For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

  • 3 tablespoons butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ½ teaspoon lemon juice
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the chicken: Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create thinner pieces. Season with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up the breading station:
    • In one bowl, place the flour.
    • In a second bowl, beat the eggs.
    • In a third bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  3. Coat the chicken: Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to adhere.
  4. Fry the chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook each chicken piece for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  5. Make the garlic butter sauce: In the same pan, melt the butter and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and parsley.
  6. Serve: Drizzle the garlic butter sauce over the crispy chicken and garnish with extra parsley.

Enjoy this crispy, cheesy, and flavorful dish with your favorite sides! 🍽️😋
