Description

A delicious parmesan crusted chicken served with a creamy garlic sauce, perfect for busy weeknights and family dinners.


Ingredients

  • 4 thin chicken cutlets
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for coating)
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese (for sauce)
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish


Instructions

  1. Season each chicken cutlet with salt and pepper on both sides.
  2. Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off the excess.
  3. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off before coating it in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
  4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  5. Place the coated chicken cutlets in the pan, cooking for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
  6. Transfer the chicken to a plate and set it aside.
  7. Melt the butter in the same skillet over medium heat.
  8. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  9. Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and remaining grated Parmesan cheese, then simmer until thickened.
  10. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
  11. Return the crispy chicken cutlets to the skillet and spoon the sauce over them.
  12. Garnish with parsley or thyme before serving.

Notes

Use fresh breadcrumbs for a better texture. Adjust garlic to your taste. Store leftovers separately to maintain crispiness.
