Ingredients
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1 lb / 450g)
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs (whisked)
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1.5 cups grated parmesan cheese (divided)
3 tbsp olive oil
2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup heavy cream
1/2 cup chicken broth
1 tsp black pepper
Salt, to taste
2 tbsp fresh parsley (finely chopped)
Instructions
Prepare Breading Station
Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with whisked eggs, and one with panko mixed with 1/2 cup parmesan cheese.
Coat the Chicken
Pat chicken dry and season lightly with salt. Dredge in flour, dip in eggs, then coat thoroughly in the panko-parmesan mixture.
Cook the Chicken
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side until golden brown and crispy. Remove and let rest.
Make Garlic Cream Sauce
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium-low heat. Add garlic and sauté for about 1 minute. Stir in heavy cream and chicken broth. Simmer for 3–4 minutes.
Add Cheese and Season
Stir in 1/2 cup parmesan cheese until melted and smooth. Season with black pepper and salt to taste.
Assemble the Dish
Slice chicken into strips. Spoon sauce onto a plate or skillet, place chicken on top, and garnish with parsley and remaining parmesan.
Notes
Pound chicken evenly for consistent cooking.
Use freshly grated parmesan for best flavor and melting.
Do not overcrowd the pan while frying.
Serve with pasta, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
