The BEST Easy Parmesan Chicken with Garlic Parsley Butter Sauce

We’ve been doing this recipe for about 10 years now. It’s still the BEST CHICKEN tenders recipe we have for parties or guest because it’s a hit with adults and kids alike. It’s equally great with pasta or hot white rice!

The secret is really the amazing garlic butter sauce!

This recipe is adapted from the most affordable series called Periplus Mini Cookbook called Fast Chicken. In fact it’s where most of our favorite chicken recipes come from because the recipes are super easy and totally yummy! I highly recommend it if you see it in any bookstore! Grab it quick!

Ours look super ratty already but we love it so much!

INGREDIENTS

4 chicken breasts or the equivalent in chicken tenders
Flour for dusting
2 eggs
2 cups fresh breadcrumbs
1/2 cup or 50g freshly grated permesan cheese (get the best you can afford, it makes a difference)
Cooking oil
Paper towels to drain the oil

50g butter
4 crushed then finely minced cloves of garlic
2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley
salt and pepper to taste

PARMESAN CHICKEN

Cut chicken breast fillets into strips
Dust with flour & shake off excess
Whisk eggs till fluffy
In another bowl, combine breadcrumbs & grated parmesan
Dip chicken strips one at a time into the egg, then roll in the breadcrumbs to coat.
Heat a little oil in a frying pan. Oil must be hot so that the chicken isn’t oily, but not too hot that it burns.
Cook chicken in batches over moderate heat for 1-2 mins each side or until cooked through/golden
Drain on paper towels & keep warm

GARLIC BUTTER SAUCE

Melt butter in a small pan
Add garlic & cook for 2-3 mins or until fragrant. Do not burn.
Add parsley
Season to taste with salt and pepper
Serve in a separate bowl so that people can spoon it over their chicken right before eating to keep the chicken crispy.

Ready to eat in 20mins after mise en place. Serves 4 people. Multiply as needed for parties.
