A crispy and flavorful chicken dish topped with a rich creamy garlic sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 thin chicken cutlets
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan (for sauce)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season each chicken cutlet generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge each cutlet in flour, ensuring it is evenly coated. Dip it into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
  3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until golden and crisp. Once cooked, transfer the chicken to a plate.
  4. Melt the butter in the same skillet and add the minced garlic. Sauté until fragrant, about 30 seconds—be careful not to burn the garlic.
  5. Stir in the chicken broth, heavy cream, and the remaining ¼ cup of Parmesan cheese. Let it simmer until the sauce thickens, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
  6. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning the creamy sauce over it.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme before serving.

Notes

For a lighter sauce, swap heavy cream for half-and-half or use gluten-free breadcrumbs. Best served with mashed potatoes or salad.
