Ingredients
Scale
Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Breading and Coating:
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup buttermilk
Seasonings and Extras:
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Vegetable oil for frying
Sauce:
- 1 cup heavy cream
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
- Submerge 4 chicken breasts in 1 cup buttermilk, refrigerating for minimum 30 minutes to enhance tenderness and flavor absorption.
- Blend 1 cup flour with 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish for first coating layer.
- Mix 1 cup breadcrumbs with ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese in a separate shallow dish for final coating layer.
- Remove chicken from buttermilk, allowing excess to drip off. Thoroughly coat each piece in seasoned flour mixture.
- Dunk floured chicken back into buttermilk, then completely cover with Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure even adherence.
- Pour vegetable oil into a large skillet, heating to 350°F over medium-high heat until surface shimmers slightly.
- Carefully place breaded chicken into hot oil, frying 5-7 minutes per side until exterior turns deep golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- While chicken cooks, combine 1 cup heavy cream, ½ cup Parmesan, and 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning in a saucepan.
- Simmer sauce over medium heat for 3-4 minutes, stirring continuously until mixture thickens and cheese melts completely.
- Transfer crispy chicken to serving plates, generously drizzle with creamy Parmesan sauce, and sprinkle 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley on top.
Notes
- Marinate chicken in buttermilk overnight for deeper flavor and extra tenderness.
- Use panko breadcrumbs for a crispier, lighter coating that stays crunchy longer.
- For a gluten-free version, swap regular flour with almond flour and use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- Keep oil temperature around 350°F to ensure even cooking without burning the breading.
