Description
A delicious recipe for crispy, golden brown chicken breasts coated in a flavorful Parmesan crust.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts (cut into 6 pieces)
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (sandy texture)
- 1/2 teaspoon salt (plus more as needed)
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil (divided)
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
Instructions
- In a shallow bowl, mix flour, Parmesan, salt, pepper, paprika, and garlic powder.
- Cut each chicken breast into 3 pieces, place between two sheets of plastic wrap, and pound to 1/4-inch thickness. Rub chicken with 1 tablespoon olive oil (divided between both sides). Coat evenly in the flour mixture.
- Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 tablespoon butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add half the chicken pieces and cook for 3–4 minutes on one side until golden brown. Flip and cook for 1–2 minutes on the other side.
- Transfer cooked chicken to a plate, sprinkle lightly with salt, and cover with foil to keep warm. Cook remaining chicken, adding more oil if needed.
Notes
- This chicken can be served with a side salad or your choice of vegetables for a complete meal.
- For extra crunch, you can double coat the chicken by dipping it back in the egg before coating it again with the flour mixture.
