Ingredients
  

For the Chicken:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 cup panko breadcrumbs

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

½ tsp salt

½ tsp black pepper

Cooking oil (for frying)

For the Garlic Sauce:

4 cloves garlic, minced

½ cup unsalted butter

1 tsp dried oregano

1 tsp red pepper flakes (optional)

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Salt and pepper to taste

Juice of ½ lemon

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: All chicken breasts should be evenly pounded to about 1 inch thickness for uniform cooking. This ensures that they cook through without drying out.

    Set up Breading Station: In three separate bowls, place the flour seasoned with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in the first bowl. Beat the eggs in the second bowl. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

      Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast first in flour, shaking off excess. Then, dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat well with the panko-Parmesan mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure an even coating.

        Fry the Chicken: Heat about half an inch of cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, carefully place the breaded chicken breasts in the skillet in batches, avoiding overcrowding. Fry for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

          Make the Garlic Sauce: In a small saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Be careful not to burn it. Stir in the oregano, red pepper flakes (if using), lemon juice, and season with salt and pepper to taste. Simmer for another minute, and then remove from heat.

            Serve: Place the crispy Parmesan chicken on a serving platter, drizzle generously with the garlic sauce, and garnish with freshly chopped parsley.

              Enjoy: Pair with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal!
