Breaded Chicken Breasts

For something a little bit different but not too difficult, last week D and I breaded chicken breasts to serve with steamed broccoli. The result was tasty-a recipe to repeat.

Breaded Chicken Breasts

• 2 large chicken breasts
• 2 eggs
• bread crumbs
• grated parmesan cheese
• salt
• pepper
• canola oil (3 cups)

Slice the chicken breasts into very thin pieces. Place the two eggs in a bowl and whisk. In a separate bowl mix together even portions of parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. Also add a little bit of salt and pepper.

In a pan, heat up 3 cups canola oil. Coat one section of the chicken breasts with the raw egg, and then in the bread crumb mixture. Repeat for all of the portions of chicken. Cook in oil until crispy and brown, about 5 minutes on each side.

For an extra treat, mix the excess egg, breadcrumbs, and parmesan together and fry in the oil for a fried omlette. Even the kitten likes it!
