This recipe offers a delightful twist on the classic Parmesan chicken, featuring a crispy crust and juicy interior.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/4 inch.
Even thickness ensures uniform cooking and prevents overcooking.
Mix the flour, salt, and pepper on a plate.
Seasoning the flour adds flavor to the chicken.
Whisk the eggs in a bowl until smooth.
Ensure the eggs are well beaten for even coating.
Combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese on another plate.
Mix thoroughly to evenly distribute the cheese.
Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg wash, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they adhere well.
Heat butter and olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat.
Using a combination of butter and oil prevents burning and adds flavor.
Cook the chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
Avoid overcrowding the pan to ensure even cooking.
Serve the chicken warm, garnished with extra Parmesan cheese if desired.
Pair with a fresh salad or pasta for a complete meal.
