Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 4 tablespoons all-purpose flour
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- ½ cup unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley for garnish
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Pound the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap until evenly thick (about 1 inch).
- Set up your breading station: one dish with flour, another with beaten eggs, and a third with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip it in the egg wash, then coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
- In a large skillet over medium heat, heat olive oil until shimmering. Cook each breaded chicken breast for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer cooked chicken to the prepared baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven for an additional 5-10 minutes if necessary.
- In the same skillet used for the chicken, reduce heat and add butter and minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes).
- Drizzle the garlic sauce over the chicken before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley.
