Servings: 4
Ingredients
- 1 egg
- salt and pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Italian Seasoning
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, (grated or shredded)
- ½ cup bread crumbs
- ¼ cup flour
- 1 lb chicken breasts, (thin, 4 pieces)
- 1 tablespoon butter
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
Instructions
Prepare chicken and bowls
- First, paper towel dry the chicken and then prepare two bowls.
- Bowl 1 is for the egg, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning. Next, you should whisk the egg mixture slightly.
- Bowl 2 is for the Parmesan, bread crumbs and flour.
Coat the chicken
- Dredge each chicken breast with egg mixture in bowl 1.
- After that place the chicken in bowl 2 with Parmesan mixture and press.
- Turn to coat the other side of the chicken with Parmesan mixture and press again.
- Repeat with remaining chicken pieces and place each coated chicken onto a plate or a cutting board.
Pan fry chicken
- Melt butter and add olive oil on medium high heat in a skillet (stainless steel, cast iron skillet or non-stick).
- Place coated chicken into the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes one one side.
- Do not move chicken otherwise the cheese will slide off surface before it adheres! Press down lightly with a spatula.
- Turn with tongs when the first side is golden brown and cook the other side for 3 to 4 minutes.
- Do not cook for more than a total of 6-8 minutes – just set the timer and flip when it beeps.
- Check to make sure the chicken is fully cooked and not pink. If not, lower the heat and cook for a couple more minutes.
- Serve immediately.
