With its high protein content and low carbs, it’s a great option for anyone looking to enjoy a satisfying yet nutritious meal. Here’s how to make it:

Ingredients:

  • 4 skinless chicken breasts
  • 85g Parmesan cheese, finely grated
  • 1 tablespoon dried basil
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon dried parsley
  • 1 large egg
  • 3 1/2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 55g unsalted butter
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions:

  1. Prepare the Chicken:

    • Place each chicken breast between two sheets of cling film. Gently pound them with a rolling pin until they are thin and even, creating escalopes. This will help the chicken cook quickly and evenly.
  2. Make the Coating:

    • In a shallow bowl, combine the finely grated Parmesan cheese with the dried basil, oregano, and parsley. Season with 1/2 teaspoon of salt and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper. Mix the ingredients well to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
  3. Prepare the Egg Mixture:

    • In another bowl, whisk the egg until well beaten. Then, whisk in the milk until the mixture is smooth and combined.
  4. Coat the Chicken:

    • Dip each flattened chicken breast into the egg and milk mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Next, press the chicken into the Parmesan and herb coating mixture, ensuring each side is evenly covered. Press down with the palm of your hand to ensure a thorough coating. Transfer the coated chicken breasts to a tray, making sure they are not touching to avoid sogginess.
  5. Cook the Chicken:

    • Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil is hot, add half of the butter and let it melt and sizzle. Carefully place two of the coated chicken pieces into the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

    • Keep the cooked chicken warm in a low oven while you cook the remaining pieces. If you prefer, you can use two pans to cook all the chicken simultaneously.

  6. Serve and Enjoy:

    • Serve the Chicken With a Parmesan and Herb Crust hot, with your favorite sides. This dish pairs wonderfully with a crisp salad or some steamed vegetables.
