📜 Ingredients:
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup flour
- 1 egg
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
📝 Instructions:
-
Prepare the Coating: In a bowl, mix Seasoned Bread Crumbs and Parmesan Cheese together until well-combined. Set aside.
-
Prepare the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound the breasts to a thickness of about 1/4 inch thick. This helps tenderize the meat and ensures even cooking.
-
Set Up the Dredging Station: In separate shallow dishes, place the flour, beaten egg mixed with water, and the seasoned breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture.
-
Coat the Chicken: Dredge each chicken piece in the flour, then dip into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s well-coated, and finally coat it evenly with the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture. Place the coated chicken pieces on a large platter.
-
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 200°F (93°C). This will keep the cooked chicken warm while you finish cooking the remaining pieces.
-
Heat the Butter and Oil: In a wide frying pan, heat the butter and olive oil over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and the oil is hot.
-
Saute the Chicken: Working in batches, add half of the chicken breasts to the pan. Make sure not to overcrowd the pan, as this will prevent the chicken from browning properly. Saute the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 3-5 minutes per side. If needed, add more butter to the pan.
-
Keep Warm: Once cooked, transfer the sauteed chicken breasts to a baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven to keep warm while you cook the remaining batches.
-
Repeat: Repeat the process with the remaining chicken breasts, adding more butter to the pan if necessary, until all the chicken is cooked through and golden brown.
-
Garnish and Serve: Once all the chicken is cooked, garnish with sliced avocado and oranges for a refreshing touch. Serve hot and enjoy the crispy, flavorful Parmesan chicken breasts!
