Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to even thickness
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
2 cups Italian-style breadcrumbs
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
½ tsp smoked paprika
Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
⅓ cup olive oil
2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
For the Garlic Parmesan Dip:
½ cup mayonnaise
¼ cup sour cream
2 garlic cloves, minced
2 tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tbsp lemon juice
1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Instructions
Season the chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, and smoked paprika.
Place the flour in one shallow bowl, the beaten eggs in another, and combine the breadcrumbs with Parmesan cheese in a third bowl.
Dredge each chicken cutlet in the flour, dip into the eggs, then coat thoroughly in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
Fry the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until deeply golden, crispy, and cooked through. Transfer to a wire rack or paper towels.
In a small bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, sour cream, garlic, Parmesan, lemon juice, parsley, salt, and pepper until smooth.
Sprinkle the crispy chicken with extra Parmesan and chopped parsley.
Serve immediately with the creamy garlic Parmesan dip, fries, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
Notes
Ensure chicken breasts are pounded to an even thickness for uniform cooking.
