Ingredients
- 1 large chicken breast
- plain flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- olive oil
Crumb
- 200g panko crumbs (or freshly blended)
- 2 tsp sweet paprika
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 2 tsp seasoning salt
- 30g grated parmesan, or 1/2 cup
- crack of pepper
Method
- Cut the tenderloin (if any) off the breast. Save this for later.
- Carefully cut the breast sideways but not all the way through like a book. The chicken should look somewhat like a love heart.
- Combine the panko crumbs, seasonings, and parmesan into a large bowl.
- Coat the chicken in flour.
- Put the chicken through the egg bath.
- Place the chicken in the crumb bowl and press in to fully coat it.
- Place 2 tbsp oil in a medium heat pan, cast iron or non-stick.
- Shallow fry the chicken on one side for 5-10 minutes until brown, flip and cook for another 5 minutes.
Notes
- You may need to add more oil while flipping the chicken. You really don't want the crumbs to cook dry.
- The tenderloin can also be split and flattened into a mini schnitzel.
- Top with Napolitana Sauce and cheese for a Parmigiana!
