Ingredients
  

Parmesan Crusted Chicken

  • 1.5 lb chicken breast 2 large, patted dry with paper towels
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil to sautee
  • 1 tablespoon parsley to garnish (optional)
  • ½ lemon sliced for garnish (optional)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 clove garlic minced
  • 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 3 tablespoon all-purpose flour

Recipe Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise. Lightly beat with a meat mallet until even in thickness.
  • In a bowl, whisk together the ingredients for the egg mixture. In another bowl, combine the ingredients for the parmesan mixture. Dip chicken into the egg mixture, then dredge chicken in the parmesan mixture. Allow any excess ingredients to fall off from each bowl.
  • In a large non-stick skillet, heat enough oil to cover the bottom of a skillet. Once hot, add the chicken and cook 4-5 minutes per side, or until crispy, golden and cooked through to 165˚F on an Instant Read Thermometer. Reduce the heat if chicken browns too quickly.
  • Meanwhile, in a separate saucepan, melt butter and garlic, cook until fragrant. Add the chicken broth, lemon juice and pepper. Allow the sauce to cook for about 2 minutes. Pour the sauce over the cooked chicken, turning to coat. Garnish with lemon slices and finely chopped parsley if desired.
