New Recipe: Parmesan Chicken with Garlic Cheese Sauce



Another amazing recipe from Pinterest! Michael and I were menu planning at breakfast last week and I told him to go thorugh my recipe board on Pinterest and pick something for dinner that week. This is what he chose and it was tasty! It is not the lightest recipe but I'm sure these could be baked and be just as good. The breading is fantastic and I think that because you blend the crumb mixture, that's what makes it so good. I didn't get a picture of the sauce but it was good. I would add some more garlic to it next time, but that's just me!

Ingredients

• 4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup flour
• 2 beaten eggs
• 2 cups breadcrumbs (I used panko breadcrumbs)
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• Oil for frying
• 2 ounces light cream cheese
• a splash of milk
• 1 teaspoon minced fresh garlic or garlic salt
• 1 teaspoon oil
• 1 ounce good quality shredded cheese of choice (I used a white cheddar)

Instructions

1. Cut the chicken into strips. In a blender or food processor, pulse the crumbs and Parmesan until it’s a fine crumb mixture.
2. Put the flour, egg, and crumb mixture in individual shallow bowls. Dust each strip of chicken with flour, dip into the beaten egg, and roll in the crumb mixture. Coat all pieces before you start frying.
3. Pour oil in a large skillet or frying pan until it’s a few inches deep (enough to cover the chicken on one side). Heat over medium low heat until a drop of water sizzles in it. Add the chicken in batches and fry for 1-3 minutes until they reach desired golden-brownness. Make sure to fry long enough to cook each piece all the way through. Remove from oil with tongs and place on a paper towel lined plate to drain the oil. Let cool slightly.
4. For the cheese sauce, melt the cream cheese on the stovetop on med/low heat. Whisk in the milk, garlic, and oil until smooth. When smooth, add the cheese. Melt for another 20-30 seconds and whisk again until totally smooth, adding more milk to thin out the sauce to your desired consistency.
5. Serve chicken with sauce for dipping and enjoy!
