Crispy Parmesan Chicken with Garlic Sauce Delight

Ingredients

• 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs, beaten
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 tsp garlic powder
• 1 tsp paprika
• 1 Prise salt (optional)
• 1 Prise pepper (optional)
• 0.25 cup olive oil (for frying)
• 0.25 cup unsalted butter
• 4 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

1. Begin by preparing the chicken. If the chicken breasts are thick, slice them in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets. This will help them cook evenly and crisply.
2. In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. In another shallow dish, place the beaten eggs.
4. In a third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Stir together until well combined.
5. Coat each chicken cutlet first in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat well in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick.
6. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken cutlets to the pan, frying them in batches if necessary to avoid overcrowding. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy. Remove them from the skillet and drain on paper towels.
7. In the same skillet, reduce the heat to low and add the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic, cooking gently for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
8. Return the crispy chicken to the skillet and drizzle the garlic sauce over the top, coating the chicken lightly.
9. Remove from heat and transfer the chicken to a serving platter. Garnish with fresh parsley.
