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 (thyme, parsley, chives, or rosemary)
- 3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1½ pounds), pounded ¼ inch thick
- Extra salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning
- ¼ cup olive oil
- Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
- Prepare the breading station: Set up three large shallow bowls. Fill the first one with flour, the second with beaten eggs, and the third with a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated cheese, salt, pepper, and herbs.
- Season the chicken: Generously season both sides of the chicken breasts with additional salt and pepper.
- Bread the chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Cook the chicken: Heat the olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken and cook for 2-3 minutes until golden. Flip and cook for another 2-3 minutes until fully cooked.
- Serve: Plate the hot chicken, garnishing with lemon wedges for a fresh squeeze before digging in.
Notes
Pound the chicken to even thickness for quick and even cooking. Experiment with different herbs to customize the flavor.
