Print Recipe

Golden, crispy chicken served on a bed of creamy Alfredo sauce, topped with salty prosciutto and fresh arugula for a perfect balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup (120 g) all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup (100 g) panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup (50 g) grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • 4 tbsp olive oil (for frying)
  • 2 tbsp unsalted butter
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 1/2 cups (360 ml) heavy cream
  • 1 cup (100 g) freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • Salt and black pepper, to taste
  • Optional: pinch of nutmeg
  • 4 slices prosciutto
  • 1 cup (30 g) fresh arugula
  • Optional: lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  1. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
  2. Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls—one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip it in the egg, and then coat it completely in the breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating sticks.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain excess oil.
  4. In the same skillet, melt butter over medium heat. Add minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant. Pour in the heavy cream, whisking constantly, and bring to a gentle simmer. Stir in the Parmesan cheese until melted and the sauce is creamy. Season with salt, pepper, and a pinch of nutmeg, if desired.
  5. Pour the Alfredo sauce onto a serving platter or individual plates. Place the crispy chicken breasts on top. Arrange slices of prosciutto over the chicken and finish with a handful of fresh arugula.
  6. Serve immediately, optionally garnished with lemon wedges for a bright, zesty touch.
