Step-by-Step Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Fries

Toss potato slices with olive oil, salt, and paprika. Bake at 200°C for 25–30 minutes or fry until golden and crispy.
👉 Tip: Soak potatoes in cold water for 15 minutes for extra crispiness.

Step 2: Prepare the Chicken

Season chicken with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
👉 Tip: Flatten chicken evenly for consistent cooking.

Step 3: Bread the Chicken

Dredge chicken in flour, dip in egg, then coat with breadcrumbs.
👉 Tip: Press breadcrumbs firmly to ensure a crispy coating.

Step 4: Fry the Chicken

Heat oil and fry chicken until golden brown and cooked through (about 5–6 minutes per side).
👉 Tip: Maintain medium heat to avoid burning the crust.

Step 5: Make the Sauce

In a pan, melt butter and sauté garlic until fragrant. Add chili flakes, then pour in cream. Simmer gently and stir in Parmesan until smooth.
👉 Tip: Keep heat low to prevent the sauce from splitting.

Step 6: Combine and Coat

Place cooked chicken in the sauce and spoon it over generously.
👉 Tip: Let the chicken sit in the sauce for 2–3 minutes for maximum flavor absorption.

Step 7: Serve

Plate chicken with fries and drizzle extra sauce on top.
👉 Tip: Garnish with parsley or extra Parmesan for a gourmet touch.
