These fried chicken breasts are classic breaded cutlets served with a creamy Parmesan sauce. The sauce comes together in a few minutes: add butter and grated Parmesan to warm cooking cream and stir until the cheese melts, then stir in a spoonful of sour cream for a smoother finish. Let the chicken drain on paper towels before serving. Serve with potatoes or rice and garnish with parsley.

Instructions
Slice the chicken, season with pepper, and coat in flour, egg, and breadcrumbs. Fry in hot oil, then drain on paper towels.
For the sauce, heat the cream, add the butter and cheese, and cook, stirring constantly, until the cheese melts. Remove from the heat and stir in the sour cream. Pour the sauce over the chicken and side dish, and garnish with parsley.
Tip: Slice the chicken breasts into thinner cutlets and pound them lightly to an even thickness so they cook through at the same time in the oil. The Parmesan sauce thickens as it stands, so thin it with a tablespoon of cream before serving.
