Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Welcome back to my blog everyone and Happy Friday! I love Friday’s because that usually means we are going to have a nice family meal together after a long week of work. This is a dish that me and my best friend came up with and it is a combination of our favorite things which are, parmesan cheese and panko bread crumbs. Everything is better with cheese and bread crumbs on it.

Today I will be sharing the recipe for parmesan crusted chicken! This dish is so simple that anyone can do it and you don’t need to be a pro in the kitchen to achieve an amazing dish. 

Parmesan Crusted Chicken Ingredients:

• 1 lb. of Chicken Breast
• Panko Bread Crumbs
• Olive Oil
• Parmesan Cheese 
• Egg
• Salt and Pepper

How to make Parmesan Crusted Chicken:

First we are going to want to cut or chicken breast into half, the thinner the chicken the easier it is to cook. Once you have sliced all f your chicken breast you will want to cover them with a piece of plastic wrap on top of them. Then we are going to pound them to make them even thinner. Now if you want don’t have a meat tenderizer you can use a pan as well. Once you have beat the chicken they are nice and thin we are going to salt and pepper both sides of the chicken.

Now we are going to set up our dredging stations! In our first dish we are going to crack an egg and whisk it until the yoke is completely broken up. Then we are going to add salt and pepper to our egg wash. It is important to season everything as we go to add lots of flavor to each layer of this dish. Our next dish is going to be our panko bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, and salt and pepper. There are no exact measurements on anything we just eye balled everything. You can add more cheese if you want it to be a little more bold which is what we did. Then you will dip the chicken into the egg wash and make sure you get all of the excess off then into the panko. I made sure to pat down the panko onto the chicken to help it stick better.

Once all of our chicken is done we are going to heat up our olive oil, we did enough to cover the whole bottom of the pan. When our pan was all heated we added our chicken breast and allowed them to cook for 5 minutes then we flipped them for another 5 minutes. Finally we placed them on a paper towel to absorb any extra oil then we served it. 

This dish is one of my favorites! The chicken comes out super moist inside but has lots of flavors on the outside. I recently cooked this dish for my boyfriend Andrew and he instantly fell in love. I made extra for me to take to work and he ate it all that night. If you’re looking for a fun recipe for your family then this is a great one for a Friday night.
