A comforting dish of golden-brown Parmesan crusted chicken served with a creamy garlic sauce that elevates weeknight meals.

Ingredients

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

Instructions

  1. Begin by seasoning the chicken cutlets generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Set up your breading station: in one shallow dish, place the flour; in another, whisk the eggs until smooth; and in a third, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan.
  3. Dredge each cutlet first in flour, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
  4. Heat olive oil in your skillet over medium heat until shimmering, then carefully add the coated chicken cutlets.
  5. Cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden and crispy, then transfer them to a plate to rest.
  6. Reduce the heat and melt the butter in the same skillet, then add minced garlic.
  7. Pour in the chicken broth and bring to a gentle simmer before stirring in the heavy cream and reserved grated Parmesan.
  8. Let the sauce simmer until thickened, around 5 to 7 minutes.
  9. Return the crispy chicken to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over the top.
  10. Plate and garnish with fresh parsley or thyme before serving.

Notes

Make-ahead by preparing chicken and sauce in advance. Store separately and combine before serving.
