Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

Salt and pepper to taste

Oil for frying (olive oil or vegetable oil)

For the Garlic Sauce:

4 tablespoons unsalted butter

4 cloves garlic, minced

1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Juice of 1 lemon

Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet (about 1/2 inch thick) to ensure even cooking.

    Set Up Breading Station: In one bowl, add the flour seasoned with salt and pepper. In a second bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy. In a third bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, dried Italian herbs, and a pinch of salt and pepper.

      Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess. Dip into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mix, pressing down gently to adhere.

        Fry the Chicken: Heat about 1/4 inch of oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts (you may need to do this in batches) and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/75°C). Remove from the skillet and place on a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.

          Make the Garlic Sauce: In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium, adding the butter. Once melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant but not browned. Stir in the lemon juice and season with salt and pepper to taste. If desired, add chopped parsley for a fresh touch.

            Serve: Place the crispy Parmesan chicken on plates, drizzle generously with the garlic sauce, and garnish with additional parsley if you like. Serve hot with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad.
