Provided by Jennifer Segal

Categories     Dinner

Time 30m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

½ cup all purpose flour
2 eggs
⅔ cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs (I use Progresso)
⅓ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
¼ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs, such as thyme, parsley, chives or rosemary
3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1½ pounds), pounded ¼"-thick (see note)
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
¼ cup olive oil
Lemon wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Set up three large shallow bowls in an assembly line. Put the flour in the first bowl; beat the eggs in the second bowl; and mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs in the third bowl.
  • Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge the first chicken breast in the flour and shake off the excess until just a light coating remains. Next, dip the chicken in the egg mixture and turn to coat evenly, letting any excess egg drip off. Finally, dredge the chicken in the bread crumb mixture, turning a few times to coat well. Set breaded chicken on a plate and repeat until all of the chicken breasts are breaded.
  • Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the first side is golden brown. Flip and continue cooking until done, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
  • Note: If chicken breasts are large (8 or more ounces), it's best to cut them in half once they are pounded out. Alternatively, you can cut them in half horizontally before pounding.

Tips:

  • Use boneless, skinless chicken breasts or thighs: This will make the breading process easier and ensure that the chicken cooks evenly.
  • Tenderize the chicken: Pounding the chicken breasts or thighs with a meat mallet or rolling pin will help to break down the fibers and make them more tender.
  • Use a flavorful breading: The breading is what gives the chicken its flavor, so make sure to use a mixture of herbs, spices, and seasonings that you enjoy.
  • Double-coat the chicken: Dredging the chicken in flour, then egg, and then bread crumbs will help to create a crispy, golden-brown crust.
  • Fry the chicken in hot oil: This will help to create a crispy crust and prevent the chicken from becoming greasy.
  • Drain the chicken on paper towels: This will help to remove any excess oil from the chicken.

Conclusion:

Breaded chicken is a delicious and versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Whether you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion dish, breaded chicken is a great option.
