Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 1.5 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts cut into 1 inch cubes
Breading
  • 1 cup all purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Garlic Butter Sauce
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 4 cloves fresh garlic minced
  • 2 tablespoons fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)

Equipment

  • skillet,
  • Meat thermometer
  • Air Fryer (optional)

Method
 

  1. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  2. Dredge chicken pieces in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumb mixture. Place on a clean plate.
  3. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat with enough olive oil to coat the bottom. Cook chicken in batches for 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
  4. While cooking the last batch, melt butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Add minced garlic and cook for 30-60 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Transfer cooked chicken to a bowl, pour garlic butter over the top, and toss to coat. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately.

Notes

For a gluten-free version, substitute all-purpose flour with a gluten-free blend and use gluten-free panko. For a keto version, use almond flour and crushed pork rinds instead of flour and breadcrumbs. Air fry at 400°F for 8-10 minutes for a healthier option.
