Description

How to make crispy Parmesan chicken with a golden crust and rich garlic sauce that’s perfect for a satisfying weeknight dinner.

Ingredients

Scale
  • Chicken & Coating Components:
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs total)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Rich Garlic Sauce Base:
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 cup chicken broth
  • 1/2 cup heavy cream
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • Seasonings & Spices:
  • 1 teaspoon Kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Finishing Touches:
  • 1 lemon, cut into wedges
  • 2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prep Chicken: Pat chicken breasts dry and season with Kosher salt and black pepper. Set up three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour, one with beaten eggs, and one for the Panko mix. This ensures a smooth coating process.
  2. Make Coating: In the third dish, combine Panko breadcrumbs, 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, and dried oregano. Mix well to create a flavorful, crunchy coating for your Crispy Parmesan Chicken. This blend is key to texture.
  3. Coat Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, ensuring full coverage. Then, dip into the beaten egg, letting any excess drip off. Finally, press firmly into the Panko-Parmesan mixture, achieving a complete and even coating.
  4. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F). This creates the perfect crispy Parmesan chicken.
  5. Make Sauce: In the same skillet, melt unsalted butter and sauté minced garlic for 1 minute until fragrant. Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, and fresh parsley. Simmer gently for 2-3 minutes until the rich garlic sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Plate Dish: Place a Crispy Parmesan Chicken breast on each plate. Spoon a generous amount of the rich garlic sauce over the chicken, allowing it to pool enticingly around the edges for maximum flavor.
  7. Garnish & Serve: Garnish with extra grated Parmesan cheese and a fresh lemon wedge. Serve immediately with your favorite sides for a comforting weeknight meal. Enjoy your delicious Crispy Parmesan Chicken with Rich Garlic Sauce!

Notes

Pat chicken breasts thoroughly dry before coating to ensure the breading adheres properly for a crispy crust.

Store leftover chicken and sauce in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days.

For gluten-free, substitute all-purpose flour with a GF blend and use gluten-free Panko breadcrumbs; ensure broth is also GF.

Serve over creamy fettuccine; the pasta soaks up the rich garlic sauce, creating a truly comforting and satisfying meal.

Rest cooked chicken for five minutes before serving to ensure incredibly juicy and tender results.
