Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
Seasoning
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dried oregano
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp black pepper
Coating and Cooking
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tbsp butter
- 1/4 cup heavy cream
Instructions
- Create a vibrant seasoning blend by thoroughly mixing parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a wide, shallow dish.
- Whisk eggs in a separate bowl until smooth and well-combined, preparing for the chicken coating process.
- Pat chicken breasts completely dry with paper towels to ensure optimal seasoning adherence and crispy exterior.
- Dip each chicken breast into the whisked eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then carefully coat with the seasoned parmesan mixture, pressing gently to create an even, thick crust.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering, approximately 350°F.
- Carefully place coated chicken breasts into the hot skillet, cooking for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Remove chicken and set aside on a wire rack to maintain crispiness.
- In the same skillet, melt butter and pour in heavy cream, creating a rich pan sauce by whisking and scraping browned bits from the bottom.
- Simmer the cream sauce for 2-3 minutes until slightly thickened, then drizzle over the crispy parmesan-crusted chicken before serving.
Notes
- Master the coating by ensuring chicken is completely dry, preventing soggy breading and guaranteeing maximum crispiness.
- Use fresh, finely grated parmesan cheese for the most intense flavor and optimal crust texture.
- Control oil temperature carefully to achieve golden-brown exterior without burning the delicate parmesan crust.
- Accommodate gluten-free diets by substituting regular breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free breadcrumb alternatives.
