Instructions

1. Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap and pound to even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

2. Set up 3 bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with parmesan mixed with breadcrumbs. Season flour and crumbs with salt, pepper, and Italian seasoning.

3. Dredge chicken in flour, then dip in egg, then press into breadcrumb-parmesan mixture to coat.

4. Heat 2 tablespoons butter and olive oil in a skillet over medium-high. Fry chicken 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.

5. In a small saucepan, melt remaining butter. Sauté garlic until fragrant. Add chicken broth and heavy cream. Simmer until thickened, stirring occasionally. Stir in parsley.

6. Plate chicken and generously spoon over garlic cream sauce. Top with extra parsley and fresh cracked pepper to serve.

Notes

Pound your chicken evenly to ensure consistent cooking and a uniform crust.

Don’t overcrowd the pan—fry in batches if needed to maintain crispiness.

Let the sauce simmer slowly to avoid curdling and achieve a silky texture.
