Crispy Chicken Cutlets with Creamy Lemon Herb Sauce
Ingredients
For the Chicken
* 2 large chicken breasts, sliced into thin cutlets
* 1 teaspoon salt
* ½ teaspoon black pepper
* 1 teaspoon garlic powder
* 1 cup all-purpose flour
* 2 eggs, beaten
* 1 cup breadcrumbs or panko
* ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 3 tablespoons olive oil
For the Lemon Herb Sauce
* 2 tablespoons butter
* 2 garlic cloves, minced
* ¾ cup heavy cream
* ¼ cup chicken broth
* 2 tablespoons lemon juice
* 1 teaspoon lemon zest
* 1 tablespoon chopped parsley
* 1 teaspoon chopped thyme or basil
* Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
1. Pat the chicken cutlets dry and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
2. Prepare three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
3. Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, dip into the eggs, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
4. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and fully cooked. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels.
5. In the same skillet, melt the butter and sauté the garlic for about 30 seconds until fragrant.
6. Stir in the chicken broth, lemon juice, and zest. Simmer for 2 minutes, then add the heavy cream. Cook until slightly thickened.
7. Mix in the parsley and thyme. Taste and adjust seasoning with salt and pepper.
8. Spoon the creamy lemon herb sauce over the crispy chicken cutlets and serve immediately.
