Ingredients
Chicken and Coating
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 egg
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
Cooking
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic (minced)
Instructions
- Prepare the Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure uniform cooking. Season both sides with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning for flavorful meat.
- Create the Coating: Set up a dredging station by placing flour in one dish, beaten egg in another, and a mixture of breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan in a third. Dip each chicken breast first in the flour, then the egg, and finally coat evenly with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
- Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for 5-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Make Garlic Butter Sauce: In a separate pan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant and lightly golden, being careful not to burn.
- Combine and Serve: Pour the garlic butter sauce over the cooked chicken breasts just before serving to add richness and a burst of flavor.
Notes
- Use fresh garlic for best flavor and aroma in the butter sauce.
- Serve with pasta or roasted vegetables to complete the meal.
- Adding a squeeze of fresh lemon juice over the chicken enhances brightness and balances the richness.
