Garlic-crusted chicken is a fragrant dish of European cuisine that combines a crispy crust with tender meat. Its roots lie in home cooking traditions where simple ingredients are transformed into a gourmet treat. The mix of creamy crackers, garlic, parsley, and lemon zest gives the crust a tangy flavor and appetizing aroma that perfectly complements the juicy chicken breast. The crispy golden crust is created by frying in olive oil while keeping the meat soft and juicy. This dish is perfect for both festive dinners and cozy family lunches, harmonizing with vegetable sides or light sauces. The simplicity of preparation and rich flavor make garlic-crusted chicken a favorite choice for gourmets who appreciate classic dishes with exquisite notes.
