Parmesan Chicken

This is what my wonderful wife, Sandy wanted me to cook as part of her recent birthday celebration. I have it with grilled or steamed veggies, but pasta works, too.

Let me know what you think! When you fix it, go to my Facebook page, upload a photo of it, and post a comment.

Enjoy!

Parmesan Chicken

4 to 6 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon kosher salt

½ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

2 extra large eggs

1 tablespoon water

1 ¼ cups Italian seasoned dry bread crumbs

½ cup grated Parmesan cheese

Unsalted butter

Olive oil


Pound the chicken breasts until they are ¼” thick. I use a meat mallet and wax paper.

Combine the flour, salt, and pepper on a large dinner plate. In a medium size bowl, beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water. On another plate, combine the bread crumbs and ½ cup grated Parmesan.

Coat the chicken breasts on both sides with the flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg wash and dredge both sides in the bread crumb/Parmesan cheese mixture, pressing lightly.

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large sauté pan and cook breasts on medium-low heat until cooked throughout. I usually cook two at a time in the pan.

Add oil as needed, allow to reheat, and then continue cooking.

Serve hot and enjoy!
