Ingredients
  

  • olive oil
  • 1 egg
  • 1/2 cup milk
  • 3/4 cup bread crumbs or almond flour for gluten free and paleo
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 small chicken breasts or 1 split in half

Instructions
 

  • "Put a skillet on at medium high with enough olive oil to get the bottom well coated . Have the chicken breasts standing by. Whip the egg(s) and the milk together. In a separate bowl mix the grated parmesan and the bread crumbs - or almond flour - together.
  • One at a time dip the breasts in the egg wash getting them coated all over. Then into the parmesan mixture. Don't just turn them over in the parmesan. Press them down onto and into the parmesan mixture getting them coated all over.
    Lay the breasts out in the skillet and cook them 2 - 4 minutes a side depending on the thickness.
    When they are firm to a poke or read 165° on an instant read meat thermometer they are ready.
  • Then serve up and enjoy your Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breasts. With some Caprese Salad and some of Poppop's homemade bread. If you are having spaghetti aglio e olio with your's stir in a little of the grated parmesan mix left over from coating the chicken breasts. Stir it in with the pasta just before you serve it. It's an old Italian thing and you will like it.
