Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (halal-certified)
  • 1 cup grated parmesan cheese (vegetarian, halal-certified)
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • 3 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter (halal-certified)
  • 3 tbsp butter
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • ½ cup heavy cream
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Method
 

Instructions
  1. Place chicken breasts between two pieces of parchment paper and pound to an even ½-inch thickness. This ensures even cooking and maximum crispiness.
  2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with flour seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, and paprika; one with beaten eggs; and one with grated parmesan cheese.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast first in flour, shaking off excess, then dip in egg, and finally press firmly into parmesan cheese until fully coated.
  4. Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Transfer to a plate.
  5. In the same skillet, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add vegetable broth and simmer for 2 minutes. Stir in heavy cream, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning. Cook until sauce thickens slightly.
  6. Return chicken to the skillet, spooning sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

Double the sauce if your family loves extra sauce. Pound chicken to even thickness for even cooking. Don't crowd the pan - cook in batches if necessary. Can be baked at 400°F for 20-25 minutes as a lighter option.
