Ingredients:
For the Chicken:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
Salt and black pepper, to taste
1 egg, beaten
2 tbsp olive oil
For the Creamy Dijon Sauce:
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/2 cup heavy cream
2 tbsp Dijon mustard
1 tbsp butter
1 tsp lemon juice
Salt and black pepper, to taste
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken:
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. In a separate bowl, beat the egg.
2. Coat the Chicken:
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated, then press into the breadcrumb mixture.
Make sure each breast is well-coated for a crispy and golden crust.
3. Cook the Chicken:

Cook each chicken breast for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through (reach an internal temperature of 165°F).
Remove from skillet and set aside.
4. Prepare the Creamy Dijon Sauce:
In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add chicken broth and bring to a simmer.
Stir in the heavy cream, Dijon mustard, and lemon juice.
Simmer for 2-3 minutes, stirring until the sauce thickens.
Season with salt and pepper to taste.
5. Serve:
Slice the crispy chicken breasts and drizzle generously with the creamy Dijon sauce.
Garnish with fresh parsley. Pair with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes for a complete meal!
