Crispy, golden chicken cutlets smothered in a rich, garlicky cream sauce, perfect for weeknight dinners or festive gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 thin chicken cutlets
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • ½ cup chicken broth
  • 1 cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan (for sauce)
  • Salt & pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley or thyme for garnish

Instructions

  1. Season chicken cutlets generously with salt and pepper.
  2. Dredge cutlets in flour, dip in beaten eggs, then coat with breadcrumbs and Parmesan mixture.
  3. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook coated cutlets for 3-4 minutes each side until golden brown. Set aside on a plate.
  4. Melt butter in the skillet, add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds. Pour in chicken broth and heavy cream, stirring to combine. Add remaining grated Parmesan and let the sauce simmer until thickened. Season with salt and pepper.
  5. Return chicken cutlets to the skillet and spoon the creamy sauce over them. Garnish with chopped parsley or thyme.
  6. Serve with creamy mashed potatoes, pasta, or roasted vegetables.

Notes

For a lighter option, replace heavy cream with half-and-half or use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
