Ingredients

  • 1 lb chicken breast
  • 1 ea egg
  • 1 cup milk
  • 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 2/3 cup parmesan cheese grated
  • 1/2 tbsp Oregano
  • 1/2 tbsp Basil
  • 1/4 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil

Instructions

  1. Combine the egg and milk in a medium sized bowl and whisk together.  Set aside.
  2. Combine the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, Oregano, Basil, salt, and pepper in a small baking dish or plate.  Set aside.
  3. Put each chicken breast between two pieces of clear plastic food wrap and pound until each piece is the same thickness throughout.
  4. Lightly bread each piece of chicken in the bread crumb mixture.
  5. Then dip each piece of chicken in the egg/milk mixture and bread again in the bread crumb mixture.  Repeat until all pieces have been coated.
  6. Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in medium sized pan over medium heat.  It's very important that the pan gets hot enough to crust the outside but not too hot or the crust will burn.  Once the pan is ready, carefully place in 2-3 pieces of chicken.  Allow to cook until cooked all the way through, usually 5 minutes per side.
  7. Serve immediately.
