Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 20 minutes
Total Time 35 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces, 6 oz each (approx.) "notes": "pounded to 1/4 inch thick Boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup All-purpose flour
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large Eggs
  • 1/2 cup Unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves Garlic
  • 1/4 cup Dry white wine
  • 2 tbsp Heavy cream
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil
  • 1 tsp Salt and black pepper

Instructions
 

  • Set up a breading station: flour seasoned with salt and pepper in one bowl, beaten eggs in another, and panko breadcrumbs in a third.
  • Dredge each pounded chicken breast in flour, dip in the egg wash, and coat evenly with panko breadcrumbs.
  • Heat olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Pan-fry the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (165°F internal temperature). Remove and keep warm.
  • In the same skillet, reduce heat to medium. Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.
  • Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned bits. Simmer for 2 minutes until reduced by half.
  • Stir in the heavy cream, then remove the skillet from the heat. Whisk in the remaining cold cubed butter, one piece at a time, until the sauce is smooth and emulsified.
  • Drizzle the warm garlic butter sauce over the plated chicken breasts and serve immediately.
