Crispy Parmesan Chicken with a Rich Garlic Sauce: The Incredible Ultimate Recipe


  • Author: Chef Ethan Sam
  • Total Time: 45 minutes

Ingredients

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 1 cup breadcrumbs
– 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
– 4 cloves garlic, minced
– ½ cup unsalted butter
– 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)
– Salt and pepper to taste
– Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)


Instructions

Creating Crispy Parmesan Chicken with a Rich Garlic Sauce is simple if you follow these clear steps:

1. Preheat the Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure that your chicken cooks evenly, resulting in a crispy crust.

2. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season both sides with salt and pepper.

3. Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, place the flour. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs. In a third bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese.

4. Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing the extra to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing down to ensure it adheres well.

5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Place the breaded chicken breasts on a greased baking sheet or a lined baking dish. Make sure they are spaced apart to allow for even cooking.

6. Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).

7. Prepare the Garlic Sauce: While the chicken is baking, melt the butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant (about 1-2 minutes). Be careful not to burn the garlic.

8. Add Herbs: Stir in the dried Italian herbs and season with a pinch of salt and pepper. Remove from heat and set aside.

9. Combine: Once the chicken is cooked and crispy, remove it from the oven and drizzle the rich garlic sauce over the top.

10. Garnish: Sprinkle with fresh parsley for a burst of color and added flavor.
