Ingredients

For Breading:

  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 2/3 cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs (such as Progresso)
  • 1/3 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs (such as thyme, parsley, chives, or rosemary)

For Chicken:

  • 3–4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1 1/2 pounds), pounded to 1/4 inch thickness
  • Salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • Lemon wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Breading: Set up three large shallow bowls in an assembly line. Coat chicken breasts with flour, then dip in beaten eggs, and finally coat with a mixture of bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and herbs.
  2. Cook the Chicken: Sauté breaded chicken breasts in olive oil until golden brown and cooked through.
  3. Serve: Serve the Parmesan crusted chicken hot with lemon wedges.

Notes

  • If the chicken breasts are large, consider slicing them in half horizontally before pounding for more even cooking.
  • You can prepare the breaded chicken in advance and refrigerate until ready to cook for added convenience.
  • For freezing instructions, see the ‘Make-Ahead Instructions’ section in the recipe.
