Crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken
Description
Crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken focuses on chicken breasts halved horizontally, seasoned with Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. The chicken is dipped in beaten egg, then coated in a blend of Parmesan cheese and almond flour or panko for a crunchy crust that crisps up nicely during pan frying. Cooking in a heavy non-stick skillet with olive oil or butter ensures the coating browns evenly without sticking or falling off. Each side is cooked for 5-6 minutes until golden and crispy.
The flavor comes from the combination of nutty Parmesan and aromatic Italian herbs, creating a rich, savory crust. The interior stays moist due to the quick cooking and relatively thick chicken cuts. The method requires careful flipping once the crust is set to avoid it sliding off.
This chicken recipe works well as a main dish served with a side of vegetables, salad, or potatoes. Its golden crust adds texture and visual appeal to simple chicken breasts.
