Ingredients

Scale

CHICKEN:

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 ½ teaspoons fine sea salt, divided
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper, divided
  • ½ teaspoon onion powder
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 cup plain panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon Cajun seasoning or Italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 Tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

2 Cups Freshly Grated Parmesan Cheese


Instructions

CHICKEN:

  • Using a sharp knife, carefully fillet each chicken breast into two thinner cutlets. Cover the chicken with plastic wrap and lightly pound the thicker parts of each breast with a rolling pin or meat pounder to give the chicken an even thickness. Season the chicken breasts with ½ teaspoon salt and ½ teaspoon black pepper.
  • Arrange 3 plates or shallow dishes for the breading stations. In the first dish add the flour and ½ teaspoon each of salt, black pepper, onion powder and garlic powder. Mix together with a fork and set aside.
  • In the 2nd dish add the egg and 1 teaspoon of water. Lightly beat the egg and set the dish to the side.
  • In the 3rd dish add the panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, ½ teaspoon salt, Cajun seasoning or Italian seasoning and paprika. Mix together and set aside.

ALFREDO SAUCE:

Add the butter and cream to a large skillet.

Simmer over low heat for 2 minutes.

Whisk in the garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper for one minute.

Whisk in the parmesan cheese until melted.
