π INGREDIENTS:
For the Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup breadcrumbs
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon paprika
Vegetable oil for frying
For the Creamy Dijon Sauce:
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 small onion, finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, minced
1 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons Dijon mustard
Salt and pepper to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
π INSTRUCTIONS:
STEP 1: PREPARE THE CHICKEN
- Season Chicken: Begin by seasoning the chicken breasts with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika on both sides.
- Dredge Chicken: Set up a dredging station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with breadcrumbs. Dip each chicken breast first in flour, then in the egg, and finally coat it with breadcrumbs, pressing gently to adhere.
STEP 2: COOK THE CHICKEN
- Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat about 1/2 inch of vegetable oil over medium-high heat.
- Fry Chicken: Once the oil is hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Remove from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.
STEP 3: MAKE THE CREAMY DIJON SAUCE
- SautΓ© Aromatics: In the same skillet, add olive oil and sautΓ© the chopped onion over medium heat until translucent, about 3-4 minutes. Add minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
- Add Cream and Mustard: Pour in the heavy cream and stir in the Dijon mustard. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the sauce to simmer for a few minutes until it thickens slightly.
STEP 4: SERVE
- Combine: Place the crispy chicken on a serving platter and drizzle the creamy Dijon sauce over the top. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley.
