Ingredients
Scale
Chicken:
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
Coating and Seasoning:
- 2 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1/4 cup olive oil
Sauce:
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup butter
- 1/3 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 tsp dried parsley
- 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
Instructions
- Prepare a shallow dish and combine breadcrumbs with grated parmesan cheese, creating a uniform mixture for coating the chicken.
- In a separate bowl, whisk eggs thoroughly, incorporating salt, black pepper, and garlic powder to create a flavorful egg wash.
- Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels to ensure optimal coating adhesion and even cooking.
- Dip each chicken breast into the seasoned egg mixture, ensuring complete coverage and allowing excess to drip off.
- Carefully transfer egg-coated chicken into the parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to create a consistent, crispy exterior.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering and hot, approximately 350°F.
- Carefully place breaded chicken into the hot skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove chicken from skillet and set aside on a wire rack to maintain crispiness.
- For the sauce, reduce heat to medium-low and add butter to the same skillet, melting completely.
- Pour heavy cream into the skillet, stirring continuously to prevent scorching.
- Incorporate remaining parmesan cheese, dried parsley, and red pepper flakes, whisking until sauce becomes smooth and slightly thickened.
- Drizzle warm sauce over chicken breasts just before serving, ensuring an even distribution of flavors.
Notes
- Pat chicken breasts thoroughly to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crispier coating that adheres perfectly.
- Maintain consistent oil temperature around 350°F to achieve golden-brown exterior without burning the breading.
- Avoid overcrowding the skillet to prevent steaming and ensure each chicken piece gets crisp, even browning.
- For gluten-free version, swap traditional breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free panko for similar crunchy texture.
