Ingredients
Instructions
Step 1
1. Season the chicken cutlets with salt and pepper on both sides. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with ½ cup grated Parmesan.
Step 2
2. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture. Press gently to adhere.
Step 3
3. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken cutlets in a single layer (work in batches if needed). Cook for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C). Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.
Step 4
4. In the same skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Pour in chicken broth and scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Step 5
5. Stir in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Cook for 3-4 minutes until slightly thickened. Add ¼ cup grated Parmesan and stir until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
Step 6
6. Return the chicken to the skillet, spooning some sauce over each cutlet. Simmer for 1-2 minutes to heat through.
Step 7
7. Garnish with fresh parsley or thyme and serve immediately.
Chef's Notes
For extra crispy crust, let the breaded chicken rest for 10 minutes before frying to help the coating adhere better.
Use freshly grated Parmesan for both the crust and sauce for superior flavor and melting quality.
Serving Suggestions
Serve over buttered pasta, creamy mashed potatoes, or alongside roasted vegetables. A crisp green salad with lemon vinaigrette balances the richness perfectly.
