THE CHICKEN

  • Take a slice of chicken and dip it into the flour, coating both sides.
  • Immediately dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs. Coat both sides.
  • Transfer to the bread crumb/parmesan mixture. Coat both sides.
  • Place in heated skilled and cook 3 minutes each side until golden and cooked thru. Do not crowd the pan, working in batches. Once chicken is cooked transfer to a plate lined with paper towel to drain.

THE CREAM SAUCE

  • Wipe out pan and add 1 teaspoon of olive oil. Add in minced garlic and cook quickly about 30 seconds.
  • Add in heavy whipping cream. Bring to a simmer and let thicken for a few minutes.
