Ingredients

For the Chicken:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Panko for extra crispiness)
• 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 1 egg, beaten
• 2 tbsp olive oil

For the Creamy Dijon Sauce:

• 1/2 cup chicken broth
• 1/2 cup heavy cream
• 2 tbsp Dijon mustard
• 1 tbsp butter
• 1 tsp lemon juice
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Directions

1. Prepare the Chicken:
   Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. In another bowl, beat the egg.
2. Coat the Chicken:
   Dip each chicken breast in the beaten egg, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated.
3. Cook the Chicken:
   Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F). Remove the chicken from the skillet and set aside.
4. Make the Creamy Dijon Sauce:
   In the same skillet, melt the butter. Add chicken broth and bring it to a simmer. Stir in heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice. Cook for 2-3 minutes, stirring frequently, until the sauce thickens. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve:
   Slice the crispy chicken and drizzle the Dijon sauce over the top. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite sides.
