CRISPY PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN
Recipe video above. This ultra crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken is 5 ingredient, 10 minute magic that happens to be gluten free. The idea with this recipe is that shredded parmesan melts, tuns golden and adheres to the chicken, forming a crust. Parmesan has such an intense flavour that you don't need any other seasonings in this. It tastes like schnitzel, but the coating flavour is far stronger and crunchier (but no carbs!) but is not as thick as a traditional breadcrumb coating. Serve it with cauliflower mash with browned butter for the ultimate low-carb meal!

Steps:
- Cut each breast in half horizontally to make 4 steaks. If they are much thicker than 1.75 cm / 3/4" thick (at the thickest point), pound a bit.
- Place egg, garlic, pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk with fork.
- Place parmesan in a shallow bowl.
- Dredge chicken in egg, then place in parmesan CUT SIDE DOWN (Note 3). Press, then turn. Coat with extra parmesan, press. Shake off excess. Repeat with remaining chicken.
- Melt butter and heat oil in a large skillet over high heat.
- Place chicken in non-stick skillet (or well seasoned cast iron skillet). DO NOT MOVE chicken otherwise the cheese will slide off surface before it adheres! It adheres once it turns crispy.
- Press down lightly with spatula. Lift a corner to take a peek and turn with tongs when it's deep golden brown (3 minutes for me).
- Cook the other side for 3 minutes or until also deep golden brown and crispy (again, do not move until golden). Lightly press down with spatula. Don't cook longer than 6 minutes in total - dries out the chicken.
- Serve immediately! I served mine with lemon slices, Cauliflower Mash and a Fennel Slaw with Yoghurt Dressing (Note 5).

Tips:
- Choose the right chicken breasts. Look for boneless, skinless chicken breasts that are about the same size so they cook evenly. You can also use chicken tenders for this recipe.
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from drying out. You can use a meat mallet or a rolling pin to pound the chicken breasts.
- Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper. This will help to enhance their flavor.
- Dredge the chicken breasts in the egg wash. This will help the Parmesan crust to adhere to the chicken.
- Coat the chicken breasts in the Parmesan crust. Press the Parmesan crust firmly onto the chicken breasts so that it sticks well.
- Bake the chicken breasts at 400 degrees Fahrenheit for 20-25 minutes, or until they are cooked through. Check the chicken breasts with a meat thermometer to make sure they have reached an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Let the chicken breasts rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices to redistribute throughout the chicken and prevent them from drying out.
Conclusion:
This baked chicken breasts with Parmesan crust is a delicious and easy-to-make meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The chicken breasts are juicy and flavorful, and the Parmesan crust is golden brown and crispy. Serve the chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
