Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 cup Heavy cream
- 0.5 cup Chicken broth
- 6 whole Fresh sage leaves
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese (for the sauce)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness (about 1/2 inch) using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour mixed with salt and pepper, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with a mix of Panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, and finally coat it generously with the Panko-Parmesan mixture. Press the crumbs gently to ensure they adhere.
Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. (Internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C.) Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and cover with foil to keep warm.
In the same skillet, lower the heat and melt the remaining 1 tablespoon butter. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
Pour in the chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the fresh sage leaves to the sauce and let them steep for 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese and let it melt into the sauce. Continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly. Remove the sage leaves before serving.
Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed.
Serve the chicken breasts on a plate, spooning the creamy sage sauce generously over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired. Pair with side dishes like mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a crispy salad.
