→ Main Ingredients
01 -
1 pound unsalted butter
02 -
3–4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
03 -
2 tablespoons Italian seasoning mix
04 -
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
05 -
2 eggs, beaten
06 -
½ cup all-purpose flour
07 -
1 teaspoon salt
08 -
½ teaspoon black pepper
# Steps:
01 -
Melt 1 pound of unsalted butter in a 3–4 quart straight-sided pan over medium heat. Simmer for about 5 minutes until it foams and turns golden brown, stirring occasionally. Monitor closely to avoid burning.
02 -
In a shallow bowl, combine Italian seasoning mix with panko breadcrumbs. In another dish, season all-purpose flour with salt and black pepper. Beat eggs in a separate shallow dish. Coat each chicken breast in the flour, dip into the eggs, then coat with the seasoned breadcrumbs, pressing firmly to adhere.
03 -
Add breaded chicken breasts to the foaming golden butter. Cook each side for 5–6 minutes, until golden brown and fully cooked (internal temperature should reach 165°F / 74°C). For thicker chicken breasts, the total cook time will be approximately 12 minutes.

Transfer the cooked chicken to a wire rack placed over paper towels. Tent loosely with foil and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
