  • 4 pieces thin chicken cutlets
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 0.5 cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream

  • to taste Salt & pepper
Garnish
  • to taste Fresh parsley or thyme

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Season chicken cutlets with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge cutlets in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
Cooking
  1. Heat olive oil in a skillet. Cook chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden and crisp. Transfer to a plate.
  2. In the same skillet, melt butter. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
  3. Stir in chicken broth, heavy cream, and Parmesan. Simmer until thickened. Season to taste.
  4. Return chicken to skillet, spoon sauce over, and garnish with parsley.
Serving
  1. Serve the chicken hot with simple sides like mashed potatoes, pasta, or roasted vegetables.

Notes

This dish is great for meal prep; chicken stays moist and sauce is flavorful when stored. Cool completely before storing and keep sauce separately to maintain crust crispness.
