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).

Steps:

Tips:
- To achieve crispy and golden-brown parmesan onion crust, use a combination of grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, and finely chopped onion.
- Ensure the chicken breasts are evenly coated with the parmesan onion mixture before pan-frying. This will help the crust adhere properly.
- Use a non-stick skillet or a well-seasoned cast iron skillet for pan-frying the chicken. This will prevent sticking and ensure even cooking.
- Cook the chicken over medium heat, allowing it to cook thoroughly without burning the crust.
- Serve the crispy parmesan onion-crusted chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a refreshing salad.
