Description
A comforting and easy family dinner featuring golden Parmesan crusted chicken paired with a creamy garlic sauce.
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
- Season cutlets with salt and pepper. Pat them dry for better coating adhesion.
- Dredge each cutlet in flour, shaking off excess. Dip in beaten egg, then press into breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
- Heat olive oil in skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Cook chicken 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp, then transfer to a plate.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and let it foam gently. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Add chicken broth to deglaze the pan, scraping up browned bits. Stir in heavy cream and ¼ cup Parmesan, then simmer until slightly thickened and smooth.
- Return chicken to skillet and spoon sauce over each piece; let everything warm together for a minute.
- Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme and serve with a side of mashed potatoes, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
Notes
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to three days. Reheat gently to maintain texture.
