Crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside, this coated chicken is a delightful dish that can be enjoyed for lunch or dinner. It is made with boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs that are coated in a mixture of flour, eggs, and bread crumbs, then pan-fried until golden brown. The result is a flavorful and crispy chicken that can be served with a variety of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.
This recipe provides detailed instructions on how to make the coated chicken, including tips on how to get the perfect crispy coating. It also includes two variations on the recipe: one for a spicy version and one for a baked version. The spicy version adds a kick of heat with the addition of cayenne pepper and chili powder, while the baked version is a healthier option that is cooked in the oven instead of being fried.

Steps:
- To a large skillet, add the olive oil, pounded chicken, evenly season with 21 Salute, salt, pepper, and cook over medium-high heat for 5 minutes. Do not touch, move, or disturb the chicken while it is searing. After 5 minutes, flip chicken over. It should have a medium golden color. For thicker/bigger chicken breasts, sear for 6-7 minutes.
- Allow chicken to cook on the second side for about 5 minutes, or until done and cooked through. Again, do not disturb the chicken while it's searing.
- Remove chicken with a slotted spatula and place it on a plate to rest.
- Using caution, deglaze your skillet by adding wine (or broth) and allow the liquid to bubble up and steam violently for a few seconds.
- Add the butter and allow it to melt, about 1 minute; stir continuously until melted.
- Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minutes; stir continuously.
- Turn the heat off, add the chicken back into the skillet, flip it around in the garlic butter sauce, and spoon the sauce over the chicken.
- Optionally garnish with parsley and serve immediately.

I found this recipe in an old church cookbook, and it quickly became a favorite. I've used the microwaves at work to reheat left over for lunch. When the aroma of garlic and Parmesan cheese grabs the attention of coworkers, they all ask for the recipe. -Patricia Inman Litchfield, Minnesota

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 350°F.
- Pour Stuffing mix into a plastic bag and use a rolling pin to crush the bread cubes into a fine mixture. (This can also be done alot faster with a food processor if you have one). You want to "break-down" most of the large pieces or they will become too hard after cooking.
- Mix the melted butter into the Crumb mixture until well combined. Pour the crumbs onto a plate.
- Pour the can of soup a bowl and give it a quick stir to loosen the texture. Dip the chicken breasts into soup and coat well.
- Dredge the soup coated chicken breasts in the crumb mixture. Make sure the breasts are fully coated with the crumbs.
- Place chicken on a lightly sprayed cookie sheet making sure the pieces do not touch.
- Bake for 30-45 minutes until chicken is fully cooked. (bake time depends on thickness of chicken breasts).

Steps:
- Preheat oven to 500 degrees F.
- Cut fingerling potatoes into halves or quarters, depending on thickness of fingerlings -- thin, small fingerlings may also be left whole, larger potatoes should be quartered to speed cooking process. If you are using small red potatoes, halve or quarter them in the same way.
- Cover a large cookie sheet with foil. Place potatoes on cookie sheet. Combine with peppers and onions, garlic and crushed red pepper flakes. Coat the potatoes, peppers and onions with extra-virgin olive oil just enough to coat vegetables in a thin layer, 2 to 3 tablespoons. Season liberally with salt and pepper. Place potatoes in the oven and roast 20 to 22 minutes, until potatoes are just tender and peppers and onions are crisp at edges. Toss mixture with tongs, turning the potatoes after 15 minutes. When the potatoes are cooked, transfer them to a serving dish and peel the foil off the cookie sheet and discard for super-quick clean up!
- While potatoes cook, prepare chicken. Roll out a 2-foot piece of waxed paper or foil near the stove top. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium high heat -- your pan must be very hot when the chicken is added. Pile the shredded cheese on the work surface created with the waxed paper or foil. Season your chicken breasts with black pepper but no salt; the cheese will add enough salt to the taste of the dish. Press the breasts firmly into the cheese. Coat both sides of breasts with as much cheese as possible. Add 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil to the skillet, 1 turn of the pan. Set breasts into the skillet and cook 7 minutes on each side, until cheese forms an even, golden casing around the tender chicken breasts.
- While chicken cooks, combine chopped tomatoes with basil in a small bowl. Season with salt and pepper, to your taste.
- Drain off any excess oil from chicken as you remove it from the skillet. Top chicken with big spoonfuls of raw sauce and serve with potatoes, peppers and onions.

Tips:

- Use a meat thermometer to check the internal temperature of the chicken; it should reach 165°F (74°C) in the thickest part.

- You can adjust the amount of soy sauce and honey to taste.
- Serve the chicken with rice, noodles, or vegetables.
