Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 1/2 lb chicken breast (2 large, patted dry with paper towels)
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil (to sauté)
  • 1 Tbsp parsley (to garnish, optional)
  • 1/2 lemon (sliced for garnish, optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 garlic clove (minced)
  • 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • 3 Tbsp all-purpose flour
  • 8 Tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 garlic cloves (minced)
  • 1/4 cup lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup chicken broth
  • 1/4 tsp ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prep Chicken: Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise and pound them to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
  2. Make Egg Mixture: In a bowl, whisk the eggs, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper until fully combined.
  3. Create Parmesan Mixture: In another bowl, mix the grated Parmesan with the flour to create a dredging mix.
  4. Dredge Chicken: Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, then coat it evenly with the Parmesan mix.
  5. Cook Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side or until golden brown and fully cooked.
  6. Prepare Sauce: In a separate saucepan, melt the unsalted butter over medium heat. Add in minced garlic and sauté until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth, lemon juice, and black pepper; simmer for about 2 minutes.
  7. Combine and Serve: Place the chicken on a platter and generously pour the lemon butter sauce on top. Garnish with lemon slices and parsley, if desired.

Notes

Great for family gatherings or quick weeknight dinners. Feel free to swap cheeses or use gluten-free flour as needed.
