Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- Salt and pepper, to taste
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 1/2 cups heavy cream
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for sauce)
- 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg
- Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- Cooked fettuccine or pasta of choice (optional)
Instructions
- Slice chicken breasts in half horizontally to create four thinner cutlets and pound them gently to even thickness.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper.
- Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese.
- Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, then dip in eggs, and coat evenly with breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat and fry the schnitzels until golden brown and cooked through, about 3-4 minutes per side. Remove and keep warm.
- In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté until fragrant.
- Pour in heavy cream and bring to a gentle simmer, then add 1 cup Parmesan cheese and nutmeg. Stir until cheese is melted and sauce thickens.
- Return chicken schnitzels to the skillet, spooning Alfredo sauce over them to warm through.
- Serve immediately garnished with fresh parsley, alongside cooked pasta if desired.
Notes
For extra richness, add a splash of white wine to the Alfredo sauce while simmering. Serve with steamed vegetables or a crisp green salad for a complete meal.
