Description
Deliciously crunchy chicken coated in parmesan breadcrumbs, served with a rich and creamy Alfredo sauce.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 eggs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for sauce)
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a shallow bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with 1/2 cup of grated Parmesan cheese. In another bowl, beat the eggs. In a third bowl, place the flour and season it with salt and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast in flour first, then in the egg wash, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even layer.
- In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through.
- In the same skillet, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream and bring to a simmer.
- Add 1 cup of grated Parmesan cheese to the sauce and stir until melted and creamy. Adjust seasoning with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve the crispy chicken drizzled with the Alfredo sauce and garnish with fresh parsley.
Notes
For a spicy kick, add crushed red pepper flakes to the Alfredo sauce. Serve with garlic bread or a salad.
