Indulge in a culinary delight with our tantalizing Parmesan-crusted chicken, perfectly paired with a luscious white wine sauce. This exceptional dish combines crispy, golden-brown chicken coated in a savory Parmesan crust with a rich, flavorful sauce made from white wine, butter, garlic, and herbs. The chicken is first seasoned with a blend of aromatic spices, then coated in a mixture of grated Parmesan cheese and crispy breadcrumbs, creating a delectable crust that seals in the chicken's natural juices. Pan-fried to perfection, the chicken achieves a crispy exterior and a tender, succulent interior. The accompanying white wine sauce is a symphony of flavors, featuring a delicate balance of acidity from the wine, richness from the butter, and a hint of garlic and herbs. This classic combination of flavors elevates the chicken to a new level of culinary excellence.
In addition to the main recipe, you'll also find variations to suit your preferences. For those who prefer a lighter option, we offer a baked version of the Parmesan-crusted chicken, which delivers a crispy crust and tender interior without the need for frying. If you're seeking a creamy twist, try our Parmesan-crusted chicken with creamy mushroom sauce, where sautéed mushrooms and a velvety sauce enhance the dish's richness and complexity.

Steps:
- Set up three large shallow bowls in an assembly line. Put the flour in the first bowl; beat the eggs in the second bowl; and mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs in the third bowl.
- Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge the first chicken breast in the flour and shake off the excess until just a light coating remains. Next, dip the chicken in the egg mixture and turn to coat evenly, letting any excess egg drip off. Finally, dredge the chicken in the bread crumb mixture, turning a few times to coat well. Set breaded chicken on a plate and repeat until all of the chicken breasts are breaded.
- Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the first side is golden brown. Flip and continue cooking until done, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
- Note: If chicken breasts are large (8 or more ounces), it's best to cut them in half once they are pounded out. Alternatively, you can cut them in half horizontally before pounding.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to lowest temperature (around 170). Place flour and eggs in two seperate shallow dishes. In another dish or a zipper sealable plastic bag, combine the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt and pepper. Pat chicken cutlets dry, then lightly dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, then dip in egg, and then coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated chicken cutlets on a wire rack. Heat a medium skillet over medium to medium high heat. Add the vegetable oil to the skillet and heat until bubbles form around the handle of a wooden spoon when inserted in the oil, or your candy/deep fry thermometer registers 350. Carefully place the chicken in the oil and cook until browned on both sides and cooked through - about 6 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a clean wire rack and keep warm in the oven while you make the sauce. Drain off almost all of the excess oil in the pan and return to stovetop. Add the shallot, garlic, thyme and bay leaf. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes until garlic becomes fragrant. Add the white wine and simmer. Reduce for 2 to 3 minutes. Add cream and simmer again for 3 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Remove the bay leaf and pour a small amount over the chicken and serve the remainder of the sauce at the table.

Steps:
- In a food processor, pulse bread, Parmesan, parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper until fine crumbs form. Transfer mixture to one shallow bowl; place egg in another.
- One at a time, dip each chicken cutlet into egg; let excess drip off, then dip into breadcrumb mixture. Press on crumbs firmly.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook cutlets, two at a time, adding remaining tablespoon oil for second batch, until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.
- Wipe skillet clean. Add lemon juice and 1/4 cup water; cook over low until steaming, 1 minute. Add mustard. Remove pan from heat, and stir in butter until combined. Serve cutlets with sauce.
Tips:
- To achieve a crispy crust, ensure the skillet is very hot before adding the chicken. The skin should sizzle immediately upon contact.
- Use a high-quality Parmesan cheese for the best flavor. Grating your cheese fresh will yield the best results.
- Don't overcrowd the skillet when cooking the chicken. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly and becoming crispy.
- Be careful not to overcook the chicken. Overcooked chicken will be dry and tough.
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the chicken, resulting in a more tender and flavorful dish.
