Equipment
- Large skillet or deep fryer
- Shallow dish for flour mixture
- Shallow dish for breadcrumbs
- Small saucepan for sauce
- Knife and cutting board
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup buttermilk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup unsalted butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
Step by Step Method
Step 1:
Preheat the skillet or deep fryer to medium-high heat. In one shallow dish, mix flour, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. In another dish, pour the buttermilk. In a third dish, combine breadcrumbs and grated parmesan.
Step 2:
Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour mixture, dip into buttermilk, and then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Fry the chicken in the hot skillet or fryer until golden brown and crispy, about 6-8 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.
Step 3:
In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1-2 minutes. Stir in the chopped parsley and remove from heat.
Step 4:
Toss the crispy chicken in the garlic parmesan sauce, making sure each piece is coated evenly. Serve immediately and enjoy!

FAQ
Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?
Absolutely! Chicken thighs are a great alternative and will give you even more flavor and juiciness.
Can I make this ahead of time?
While it’s best served fresh for that crispy texture, you can prepare the chicken in advance and refrigerate it. Then, just heat it up and toss it in the sauce when ready to serve.
