Herb Crusted Chicken Breast With Honey Butter
Deliciously seasoned chicken breast with honey butter. An amazing combination!
Ingredients
- 4 Boneless skinless chicken breast halves about 6 oz each
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs
- 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
- 1 Tbsp of dried parsley
- 1/2 tsp poultry seasoning
- 1/2 tsp salt
- 1/4 tsp garlic powder
- 3 Tbsp of butter
Honey Butter
- 1/4 cup softened butter
- 1/4 cup honey
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 350°.
- Place flour in a shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, add eggs and lightly beat. In a third dish, mix bread crumbs, parsley, poultry seasoning, salt and garlic powder.
- Dip chicken breast first in flour, shaking off excess. Then dip in egg, allowing excess to drip off. Last dip in breadcrumbs and thoroughly coat.
- Melt butter in a large ovenproof skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breast and cook for 2-4 minutes on each side or until golden brown.
- Place chicken in oven and bake until thermometer inserted in thickest part reads 165°, approximately 7-12 min but time will depend on the size of your chicken breast, so keep an eye on it so it doesn't get overbaked.
- While chicken is baking stir together the softened butter and honey. (you can also do this ahead of time and refrigerate it)
- Serve chicken breast topped with a generous dollop of the honey butter!
Notes
You may be able to skip the oven step if your chicken breasts are filleted really thin- they will just need to be cooked 4-5min each side. I just prefer the oven method because I found the coating was getting too dark in the pan before the chicken was cooked through- the oven method solves this issue.
