Cheesecake Factory Parmesan Crusted Chicken Recipe

This recipe combines tender chicken breasts with a crispy, savory parmesan crust for an irresistible texture and flavor combination. My top tip: Let the breaded chicken rest for 5 minutes before cooking to help the coating stick better. To achieve that perfect golden-brown crust, use a mix of butter and olive oil when pan-frying. The butter adds richness while the oil prevents burning.

  • Dip each chicken breast in flour, then egg, and finally the Parmesan-panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
