Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1 cup all-purpose flour

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

• 1 teaspoon onion powder

• 1 teaspoon salt

• ½ teaspoon black pepper

• 2 large eggs, lightly beaten

• 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 3 tablespoons olive oil

For the Garlic Butter Sauce:

• 4 tablespoons unsalted butter

• 3 garlic cloves, minced

• ½ cup chicken broth

• 1 tablespoon lemon juice

• 2 tablespoons heavy cream

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Directions

1. Prepare the Chicken:

   • Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder.

   • Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs.

   • Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into the egg mixture, and coat with breadcrumbs.

2. Cook the Chicken:

   • In a large skillet, heat 3 tablespoons of butter and 3 tablespoons of olive oil over medium heat.

   • Once the butter is melted and sizzling, add the breaded chicken breasts.

   • Cook for 4–5 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).

   • Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside on a plate.

3. Make the Garlic Butter Sauce:

   • In the same skillet, melt 4 tablespoons of butter over medium heat.

   • Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1–2 minutes, or until fragrant.

   • Stir in the chicken broth and lemon juice, allowing the mixture to simmer for 2–3 minutes.

   • Add the heavy cream and cook for an additional 2–3 minutes, or until the sauce thickens slightly.

   • Season with salt and pepper to taste.

4. Assemble and Serve:

   • Place the cooked chicken breasts on a serving platter.

   • Spoon the garlic butter sauce over the top of each chicken breast.

   • Garnish with chopped fresh parsley.

   • Serve immediately, ideally with a side of pasta, mashed potatoes, or steamed vegetables.
