Description
A delicious and impressive dish that features crispy chicken breasts coated in breadcrumbs and served with a rich, creamy sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 4 tablespoons unsalted butter (for the sauce)
- 3 garlic cloves (minced)
- ½ cup chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons heavy cream
- 1 tablespoon parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
- Set up three bowls: one with flour mixed with garlic powder and onion powder, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.
- Dip each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then in the eggs, and lastly in the breadcrumbs, ensuring they are fully coated.
- In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of olive oil and 3 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.
- Add the chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for about 6-7 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Remove and set aside.
- In the same skillet, lower the heat and add 4 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add minced garlic and sauté for about 30 seconds.
- Pour in the chicken broth and lemon juice, scraping any bits from the skillet for added flavor.
- Stir in the heavy cream and let it simmer for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened.
- Return the chicken to the skillet, coating it in the sauce for another 1-2 minutes.
- Sprinkle with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
For extra flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in lemon juice and herbs for a few hours before cooking. Make sure your oil and butter are hot enough before adding the chicken to achieve a crispy crust.
