Ingredients
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
0.5 cup breadcrumbs
1 tsp paprika
1 tsp garlic powder

0.5 tsp black pepper
0.5 tsp salt
2 large eggs
0.25 cup all-purpose flour
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp unsalted butter
2 tbsp unsalted butter
4 cloves garlic minced
1 tbsp all-purpose flour
1 cup heavy cream
0.5 cup chicken broth
0.25 cup grated Parmesan cheese
0.5 tsp dried Italian herbs (optional)
Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
1. Slice or pound chicken breasts until thin and even. Season with salt and pepper.
2. Set up 3 bowls: flour, beaten eggs, and a mix of breadcrumbs, Parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
3. Dredge chicken in flour, dip in egg, then press into breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture to coat well.
4. Heat oil and butter in a skillet. Fry chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
5. Set aside cooked chicken and reduce skillet heat.
6. In the same pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add flour and stir for 30 seconds.
7. Slowly whisk in cream and chicken broth. Simmer until thickened.
8. Stir in Parmesan, herbs, salt, and pepper.
9. Spoon sauce over the crispy chicken and garnish with parsley.
10. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and a smoother melt.
Let the chicken rest before slicing to keep it juicy.
Don’t rush the garlic—cook it gently to avoid bitterness.
