Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 3 pieces Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
- 0.25 cup Vegetable oil (for frying)
Instructions
Begin by preparing the breading station. In one shallow bowl, mix the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In a third shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. If the chicken breasts are thick, pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch to ensure even cooking.
Dredge each chicken breast first in the seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure even coverage. Set aside on a plate.
In a large skillet, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C). Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
In a small saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over low heat. Add the minced garlic and cook for 1-2 minutes, stirring often, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic. Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat.
Serve the Parmesan chicken warm, drizzled with the garlic butter sauce. Garnish with additional parsley if desired. Pair with a side of vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
