Serves 2

Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless Smart Chicken® breasts

  • 1 cup all-purpose flour, seasoned with salt and cracked pepper

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

  • 8 ounces panko bread crumbs

  • 1 tablespoon salt

  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

  • 3 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese

  • Canola oil, for cooking

Directions

Place chicken breasts between 2 pieces of plastic wrap and lightly pound to approximately ¼- inch thick. Cover and refrigerate.

Prepare three shallow bowls: one with seasoned flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a combination of panko, salt, parsley, and Parmesan. Dredge the chicken breasts in seasoned flour, shaking off excess. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, then coat in egg wash, and dredge in panko mixture. Set aside.

To a large skillet over medium, add a drizzle of canola oil. When the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken. Lower the heat and cook until browned and crisp on both sides, turning only once, approximately 3 minutes per side. Remove chicken to a paper towel, plate and serve.
