  • Total Time: 35 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • 1/2 cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Begin by flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness, then season with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge each chicken piece in flour, dip into beaten eggs, then coat with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese to create a crispy coating.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the coated chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through. Remove and set aside on a paper towel-lined plate.
  4. In the same skillet, sauté minced garlic for about 1 minute until fragrant. Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in mozzarella and Parmesan cheeses until melted and smooth. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Return the chicken to the skillet, spoon sauce over each piece, and simmer for an additional 2-3 minutes to meld flavors. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve hot with sides like pasta or vegetables.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, consider using an air fryer such as the Ninja Air Fryer Pro Crisp & Roast.
  • You can substitute the all-purpose flour and panko crumbs with gluten-free alternatives for a gluten-free version.
  • Experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or gouda for added variety.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven or air fryer to maintain crispy coating and creamy sauce.
