Ingredients
Scale
- 2 chicken breasts (sliced in half, or 4 thin chicken breasts)
- 8 tablespoons butter (divided)
- 1/2 cup Italian bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
- 1/4 cup flour
- 2 medium zucchini (sliced)
- 2 garlic cloves (minced)
Instructions
- Melt 4 tablespoons of butter in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, mix together the Italian bread crumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, and flour. Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, then coat thoroughly with the bread crumb mixture.
- Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add 2 tablespoons of butter. Once melted, add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, or until golden brown and crispy. The chicken should be cooked through. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
- In the same skillet, add the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter and sauté the minced garlic for about 1 minute. Add the sliced zucchini and cook until tender, seasoning with salt and pepper to taste. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon of Parmesan cheese.
- Return the crispy chicken to the skillet with the zucchini and heat for another minute or until everything is warmed through. Serve immediately.
