Recipes:
Parmesan-Crusted Chicken with Garlic Butter Potatoes
Ingredients:
For the chicken:
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 large egg, beaten
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper to taste
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/4 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 tablespoon chopped parsley
For the potatoes:
1 lb baby red potatoes, quartered
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 tablespoon unsalted butter
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
Prepare the potatoes:
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a bowl, toss the potatoes with olive oil, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and pepper. Spread evenly on a baking sheet.
Roast for 25-30 minutes, flipping halfway through, until golden and tender.
Prepare the chicken:
Slice the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to make thinner fillets.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten egg, and one with breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Dredge each chicken fillet in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat in the breadcrumb mixture.
Cook the chicken:
Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken fillets for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the chicken to a baking dish, sprinkle mozzarella cheese on top, and bake for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Assemble and serve:
Plate the Parmesan-crusted chicken and garlic butter potatoes. Drizzle melted butter over the potatoes and garnish the chicken with fresh parsley.
This crispy, cheesy chicken paired with buttery potatoes is a hearty and delicious meal that’s perfect for a cozy dinner!
