Ingredients
Scale
- ½ cup all purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- ⅔ cup seasoned italian bread crumbs
- ⅓ cup freshly grated parmigiano-reggiano cheese
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs (like thyme, parsley, chives, or rosemary)
- 3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1½ pounds), pounded ¼"-thick
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
- ¼ cup olive oil
- lemon wedges, for serving
Instructions
- Prepare three shallow bowls in a line: fill the first with flour, beat the eggs in the second, and mix seasoned bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and herbs in the third.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge each breast in the flour, shake off excess, dip in beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off, and then coat in the bread crumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook until golden brown, about 2-3 minutes on each side. Serve with lemon wedges.
Notes
Use a meat mallet to pound chicken evenly for the best results.
Make the breaded chicken a day ahead and store in the fridge for quicker meal prep.
Freezing is easy; just place breaded chicken in a single layer on parchment and freeze before transferring to a freezer-safe bag.
