Description
Deliciously crispy chicken topped with a rich and creamy garlic sauce, perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (pounded to even thickness)
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko works best for extra crunch)
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- Oil for shallow frying
- 2 tbsp unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 cup heavy cream
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Season and dredge the chicken: Lightly season the pounded chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides. Next, dredge each breast in flour, ensuring it’s fully coated. Dip it into the beaten egg, then press firmly into the breadcrumbs to create a generous coating.
- Fry the chicken: In your skillet, heat approximately 1/4 inch of oil over medium-high heat. Fry the chicken for about 4–5 minutes per side until each side transforms into a golden brown marvel. Once cooked through, transfer the chicken to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
- Prepare the creamy garlic sauce: In the same skillet (make sure to wipe it clean to remove any excess crumbs), melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for about 30–60 seconds until fragrant. Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, and bring this heavenly mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Finish the sauce: Stir in the grated parmesan cheese and whisk until the sauce reaches a smooth and thickened texture. Season with salt and pepper to taste—don’t be shy, this sauce craves a little extra love!
- Serve: Place the crispy chicken on a warm plate and generously pour the creamy garlic sauce over the top. Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley for a vibrant touch, and serve immediately.
Notes
Make-ahead plans? You can marinate the chicken with your favorite seasonings the night before. Use an air fryer for a healthier twist, adjusting the time based on your model.
