→ For Cooking
10 -
2 tablespoons olive oil
11 -
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
# Step-by-Step Instructions:
01 -
In a shallow bowl, beat the egg to create an egg wash. In a separate bowl, combine Parmesan cheese with dried Italian seasoning.
02 -
In a saucepan over medium heat, combine heavy cream, garlic, lemon juice, and lemon pepper seasoning. Bring to a gentle boil, reduce heat, then stir in Parmesan until melted and smooth. Let simmer while preparing chicken.
03 -
Dip chicken breasts into the egg wash, then press into the Parmesan mixture until evenly coated on all sides.
04 -
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium to medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 5 minutes until golden. Flip and cook another 3 to 5 minutes until both sides are crispy and chicken is cooked through.
05 -
Top the cooked chicken with lemon cream sauce and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
For best results, use freshly grated Parmesan and cook chicken in batches to avoid overcrowding the skillet.
02 -
Store chicken and sauce separately to maintain crispness and texture when reheated.
