total time: 25 MINS prep time: 10 MINS cook time: 15 MINS

A couple of years ago I won a Knorr Cookoff with this Panko Crusted Chicken with Lemon Cream sauce! It’s breaded chicken with a creamy sauce!

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 Large Chicken Breasts
• 1 1/2 Cups Panko Bread Crumbs
• 1/2 Cup Parmesan Cheese, shredded
• Zest of 1/2 Lemon
• 1/3 Cup Flour
• 1/2 Ts Kosher Salt
• 1/4 Ts Fresh Black Pepper
• 1 Egg, slightly beaten
• Olive Oil
• Unsalted Butter

SAUCE

• 1 Tb Unsalted Butter
• 1 Tablespoon Better than Bouillion
• 1 Garlic Clove, minced
• 1 Tb Flour
• 2 Tb White Wine
• 1 1/2 Cups Heavy Cream
• Zest Of 1 Lemon
• Juice of 1 Lemon
• 1 Pinch Kosher Salt
• 1 Pinch Fresh Black Pepper

DIRECTIONS:

1.       Place the egg in a dish.

2.       In another dish place the flour, salt and pepper.

3.       In one last dish place the panko, zest and parmesan cheese.

4.       Place the chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap or a ziploc bag and pound to 1/4 inch thick.

5.       Remove the breasts and slice them diagonally creating 4 chicken breasts instead of 2.

6.       Heat a skillet over medium-low heat and add 1 tablespoon of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter.

7.       Dredge the chicken in the flour mixture, then egg and lastly the panko.

8.       Add two breasts at a time to the skillet and cook 3-4 minutes per side or until golden and cooked through, adding more oil and butter to the pan as needed.

9.       Meanwhile, heat a saucepan over medium heat and add the butter, and concentrated stock.

10.   As the two begin to melt add the garlic and cook until everything is melted together and the garlic is fragrant, about 1 min.

11.   Add the flour and whisk vigorously. Everything will come together in a clump. Continue to whisk for an additional 30 seconds to 1 minute to cook out the flour-y taste.

12.   Quickly add the white wine and then the heavy cream.

13.   Season with salt and pepper.

14.   Whisk for a minute and reduce to a simmer, whisking occasionally, until thickened.

15.   Add the lemon zest, and lemon juice. Continue to whisk until everything is well incorporated.

16.   Remove from heat and serve over the chicken alongside sides such as asparagus, roasted mashed potatoes, fingerlings etc.

17.   Enjoy!!
