Follow The Directions
01
Step
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
Prepare the breading station: In separate shallow dishes, place the flour (mixed with cayenne pepper), beaten eggs, and panko bread crumbs. Season each dish with salt and pepper. (5 minutes)
03
Step
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat generously with panko bread crumbs. Ensure each cutlet is evenly coated. Place the breaded chicken onto a greased baking sheet. (10 minutes)
04
Step
Bake for 15 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). (30 minutes)
05
Step
While the chicken is baking, prepare the lemon-butter sauce: Heat olive oil and 2 tablespoons of butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and diced Brussels sprouts. Stir until the garlic is fragrant and the Brussels sprouts are slightly softened, about 2 minutes. (2 minutes)
06
Step
Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of flour and cook for 1 minute, creating a roux. (1 minute)
07
Step
Gradually whisk in the water, lemon juice, drained navy beans, and sugar. Stir continuously over medium heat until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency, about 8 minutes. Add additional water if the sauce becomes too thick. (10 minutes)
08
Step
Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter, 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper to taste. (2 minutes)
09
Step
To serve: Place each crispy chicken cutlet onto a serving plate. Spoon a generous amount of the lemon-butter sauce over the chicken. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and the remaining grated Parmesan cheese. Serve immediately.
For an extra crispy coating, consider using a combination of panko bread crumbs and finely grated Parmesan cheese for the breading mixture.
Adjust the amount of cayenne pepper to your preference for heat.
Fresh lemon zest can be added to the sauce for a more intense lemon flavor.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a simple green salad for a complete meal.

Feb 17, 2025My Brussels sprouts were a bit bitter, so I added a teaspoon of honey to the sauce to balance the flavors. Worked perfectly!
