Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Prepare the chicken breasts by pounding them to an even 1/2-inch thickness
  2. Set up breading station with three shallow bowls: flour in first, beaten eggs in second, and Parmesan mixture in third
  3. Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, then egg, then Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere coating
  4. Heat olive oil in large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 5-6 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy
  5. In same skillet, melt butter and sauté minced garlic for 30 seconds until fragrant. Add chicken broth and scrape up browned bits
  6. Stir in heavy cream, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until sauce thickens slightly
  7. Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over each piece. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately

Notes

Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and texture. Don't overcrowd pan - cook in batches if necessary. Let chicken rest 5 minutes before slicing.
