Crispy Chicken with Creamy Dijon Sauce

Crispy Chicken with Creamy Dijon Sauce

Instructions

1. Prepare the Chicken

1. Set up a breading station:
   • Bowl 1: Flour seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
   • Bowl 2: Lightly beaten eggs.
   • Bowl 3: Panko breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese.
2. Coat each chicken breast in the flour, then dip into the egg, and finally press into the panko mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
3. Heat 2-3 tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden and crispy. Transfer to a plate and cover loosely with foil to keep warm.

2. Make the Creamy Dijon Sauce

1. In the same skillet, melt 2 tbsp butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant.
2. Stir in chicken broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Let it simmer for 2-3 minutes.
3. Add heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and whole grain mustard. Stir until smooth and simmer for another 2-3 minutes.
4. Stir in Parmesan cheese and lemon juice. Cook until the sauce thickens slightly. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

3. Assemble and Serve

1. Pour the Dijon sauce over the crispy chicken or serve it on the side for dipping.
2. Garnish with fresh parsley.
