Parmesan Chicken Breast Recipe Is Incredibly Crispy & Moist (7 Ingredients, 20 Minutes) by Donna John

This is my new favorite chicken recipe. There, I said it. This recipe – like the Arizona sunshine lemon pie recipe that blends up a whole lemon – intrigued me and frightened me a bit. I honestly did not think this Parmesan-crusted chicken recipe would work. I was prepared to cut the chicken into pieces and mix with my side dish of pesto noodles. Boy, was I wrong about this one!

Parmesan cheese is one of my weaknesses. I love it! And I love Parmesan crisps, which I make all the time. This chicken recipe is like a juicy chicken breast wrapped in a Parmesan crisp. This high-protein chicken recipe is easy, delicious and quick. Check out the health benefits of protein.

Here is your short shopping list for this incredible high-protein chicken dinner: chicken breasts, an egg, water, fresh garlic, Parmesan cheese, butter and olive oil. 

Serve this crispy Parmesan-crusted chicken for dinner with your favorite side dishes. Hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

Cuisine: American
Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 10 minutes
Total Time: 20 minutes
Servings: 4

Ingredients

• 4 chicken boneless/skinless breasts, pounded out to 1/2-inch thickness
• 1 egg
• 1 tablespoon water
• 2 cloves garlic, pressed or minced
• 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Here's how to make it:

1. Combine the egg, water and garlic in a small bowl. Whisk to combine. Put the shredded Parmesan cheese onto a plate.
   
2. Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dip it into the egg mixture, then put it into the Parmesan cheese. Coat both sides thoroughly, pressing the cheese onto the chicken.
   
3. Heat the butter and olive oil in a nonstick skillet over high heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 3 to 4 minutes. Do not move the chicken at all so that the cheese sticks to the chicken and creates a crust so it doesn't stick to the pan. Be sure not to move the chicken breast at all when you first start frying it. This step is important so that the cheese can adhere to the chicken and not the pan.
   
4. Carefully flip the chicken over with a spatula. Continue to cook until chicken is cooked through, about 2 to 3 more minutes. Flip the chicken over carefully. You won't believe my excitement when I saw that golden piece of cheese-crusted chicken flip over. Sprinkle with parsley flakes, if desired.
