Description
One of my favorite dinners I’ve ever made! Crispy chicken brushed with garlic butter and served on luscious creamy beans with roasty tomatoes and golden shallots.
Ingredients

Scale
Crispy Chicken:
- 1 lb. boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup flour
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons salt
- avocado oil spray
Creamy Beans:
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 shallot, thinly sliced
- 1 pint cherry tomatoes
- 1 14-ounce can cannelini beans, rinsed and drained
- 1/2 cup marinara sauce (I use Rao's)
- 1/2 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup cream
- freshly torn basil
- salt and pepper to taste
Garlic Butter:
- 4 tablespoons salted butter, melted
- 1 clove garlic, grated
- 1 tablespoon minced fresh parsley
- freshly grated Parmesan cheese
Instructions
- Prep Chicken: Slice the chicken breasts horizontally so they aren’t as thick, or pound them out into thinner pieces.
- Dip and Coat: Prepare three bowls: the flour, the eggs, and the panko. Season flour and panko with 1 teaspoon salt. Sprinkle the chicken breasts on both sides with a bit of additional salt and pepper. Dredge each chicken piece in the flour, egg, and finally breadcrumbs, pressing to coat. Set aside until you’re ready to cook them.
- Creamy Beans: Sauté the shallot until softened. Add the tomatoes and a pinch of salt; cover and let them cook for 5 minutes. Smash them down with the back of a wooden spoon so they make a chunky sauce.
- Add Sauce: Add the beans, sauce, and broth; simmer for 3-5 minutes, then turn off the heat and stir in the cream and the basil. Season with salt and pepper to taste. (Add more liquid depending on how thick you want the beans.)
- Cook Chicken: Spritz the chicken with avocado oil spray to coat evenly. Air fry at 375 for 6 minutes, and then 400 for 2-3 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temp of 165 degrees.
- Garlic Butter: Mix the melted butter, garlic, and parsley. Spoon the garlic butter sauce over the chicken, and top with a little sprinkle of the Parmesan. Slice the chicken into strips as pictured.
- Serve: Plate the beans in a shallow bowl or pasta dish. Arrange the garlic butter chicken on top. Garnish with extra basil, Parmesan, or a drizzle of olive oil. Are you kidding me! It’s so good!
Notes
For the broth, I use Better Than Bouillon roasted chicken base mixed with water! I think it has the best flavor.
