Parmesan crusted chicken is a quick and delicious snack. Succulent chicken meat with cheese crispy crust is an ideal, second-to-none match! I cook chicken by this recipe for children’s lunch as a main course.

How To make Parmesan Crusted Chicken?
- Step 1. Cut the chicken breast in half, pound it under the cling film.
- Step 2. Mix one egg with water in 1:1 proportion in a deep dish, beat the mixture until it becomes smooth, add as much garlic, salt, and pepper as you desire and mix it once more.
- Step 3. Pour parmesan into a separate dish and dip the chicken in the beaten egg, let the remnants of the egg fall off the chicken,
- Put it into parmesan, cover it with parmesan on all sides and shake off the extra pieces. Do the same with all other pieces of the chicken.
- Step 4. Put butter on a large pan and heat it up on a large fire. Now put pieces of chicken on the pan and don’t touch them until the edges of the chicken become ruddy (so that the cheese sticks to the chicken, around 2.5-3.5 minutes).
- Step 5. Flip the chicken with a paddle and fry the other side the same way for 2-3 minutes. Put the cooked parmesan-crusted chicken on the plate and serve!
Do You Cover Parmesan-crusted Chicken?
Do not cover the pan with the lid, if you do, the chicken will be steam roasted and the crust won’t appear. I also advise you not to cover the cooked chicken, let it cool down a bit.
Can You Freeze Parmesan-crusted Chicken?
Yes, you can freeze the chicken, but I advise you to eat it in 3 days, it doesn’t spoil in this time and can be easily put into the fridge. If you freeze it, the cheese crust will not be crispy after defrosting.
