This Cheesecake Factory-inspired Chicken Costoletta features crispy Parmesan-breaded chicken cutlets topped with a rich lemon-butter cream sauce, served with mashed potatoes and roasted asparagus.
2 large boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
¾ cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 tablespoons unsalted butter (divided)
2 tablespoons olive oil
Juice and zest of 1 lemon
¾ cup heavy cream
2 garlic cloves, minced
Salt and pepper, to taste
1 bunch asparagus, trimmed
4 cups mashed potatoes (prepared separately)
Slice and pound chicken to ¼-inch thickness. Pat dry.
Dredge in flour, dip in eggs, and coat in Parmesan-breadcrumb mix. Let rest 10 minutes.
Heat 2 tbsp butter + olive oil in a skillet. Fry chicken 3–4 mins per side until golden and cooked through. Set aside.
In the same pan, sauté garlic in 2 tbsp butter. Add cream, lemon juice, and zest. Simmer until slightly thickened. Season.
Roast asparagus at 400°F for 10–12 minutes.
Plate mashed potatoes, top with chicken, pour sauce over, and serve with asparagus.
Substitute gluten-free breadcrumbs as needed.
Add white wine to the sauce for variation.
Store leftovers in the fridge for up to 3 days.
