Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (halal certified)
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp olive oil for frying
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream (halal)
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even ½-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking and creates the perfect texture for our crispy parmesan coating.
  2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour seasoned with salt and pepper, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with grated parmesan, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip in egg, letting excess drip off. Finally, press firmly into the parmesan breadcrumb mixture, ensuring full coverage on both sides.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Remove chicken and set aside.
  5. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and bring to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream and parmesan cheese, then add Italian seasoning. Simmer for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

Expert Tips: Pound chicken to even thickness for even cooking. Use hot oil for crispy crust. Cook in batches if needed. Use freshly grated parmesan for better flavor. Let sauce reduce slightly for optimal thickness.
