Instructions
- First, place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Cover them with plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet, pound them to an even thickness, about ½ inch.
- Season both sides of the chicken with sea salt and pepper.
- Place the flour in a shallow bowl, whisk the eggs in another shallow bowl, and combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning in a third shallow bowl.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour. Shake off any excess.
- Dip the chicken into the whisked eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.
- Then, coat the chicken fully in the breadcrumb mixture.
- In a large skillet or frying pan, heat about 2 tablespoons of olive oil over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the chicken in the hot oil. Cook for about 4 to 5 minutes on each side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). The exact cooking time will depend on the thickness of your chicken breasts.
- Place the cooked chicken on a plate with paper towels to absorb any excess oil.
- Then, make the sauce. In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat.
- Add in the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
- Stir in lemon juice and zest. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
- Pour the lemon garlic butter sauce over the cooked chicken.
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve parmesan crusted chicken!
