Ingredients:
CRISPY CHICKEN
3/4 c (185ml) cream, heavy/thickened
3-4 tablespoons lemon juice (adjust to taste, start with 3 tablespoons)
2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
3/4 c (75 grams) Parmesan cheese, freshly grated OR store-bought finely shredded
1 1/4 c (325ml) chicken broth/stock
1/4 c (35 grams) flour
600 grams / 1.2 pounds chicken breasts (2 large)
1-2 garlic cloves, minced
3 tablespoons (40 grams) butter, unsalted
1/2 teaspoon salt
Black pepper
TO SERVE
Finely chopped parsley
Pasta of choice (I used linguine)
Directions:
For the Crispy Chicken:
Horizontally slice each chicken breast in half. Season with salt and pepper.
Sprinkle flour over the chicken pieces, then toss to coat. Remove any excess by shaking them.
Place a large skillet on the stove and turn the heat to medium-high. Add butter and allow it to melt.
Add the chicken pieces into the hot skillet, then cook each side for about 2 minutes or until they turn golden brown. Move them to a clean plate.
For the Sauce:
In the same skillet, add butter and allow it to melt. Add the garlic and saute for a few seconds or just until aromatic.
Stir in the cream, Dijon mustard, chicken broth, and lemon until well blended. Make sure to deglaze the skillet by scraping the bottom.
Stir in the Parmesan cheese until well blended, then let it simmer for about 3 minutes to thicken the sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
Put the chicken back into the skillet, then toss to coat with the delicious sauce. Dish out!
Sprinkle freshly chopped parsley over each serving to garnish.
Serve over mashed potatoes or cooked pasta. Enjoy!
Notes:
Feel free to use evaporated milk instead of cream if you want to lessen the fat content of the dish.
I highly suggest you grate the cheese yourself.
