Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 cloves garlic, roasted
- 1/4 cup melted butter
- 1 cup chicken stock
- 1 lemon (squeezed)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your broiler, letting it work its magic to create a perfect browning environment for that crispy chicken crust.
- Mix the grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs together in a bowl.
- Season the chicken breasts generously with salt and pepper.
- Dredge each seasoned chicken breast in the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture until well coated on all sides.
- Heat olive oil in a large frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Fry the dredged chicken until golden brown and cooked through — around 5-7 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and place it under the broiler for 2-3 minutes for extra crispiness.
- Combine the roasted garlic, melted butter, chicken stock, and squeezed lemon juice in a saucepan and heat until warm.
- Serve the chicken hot, drizzled with the warm garlic sauce.
