Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts
  • ½ cup flour
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tablespoon grated parmesan
  • ¼ teaspoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • salt & pepper
  • 4 tablespoon olive oil
  • 2 tablespoon butter

Instructions

  • Cut the chicken breasts horizontally lengthways so that you have four large flat pieces of chicken.
  • Place the chicken between two pieces of plastic wrap and, using a mallet or rolling pin, bash the chicken to flatten it, until it is around ⅛ inch thick. Try to ensure you have an even thickness throughout.
  • Get three bowls. In one bowl, put the flour. In the second bowl, crack the eggs and whisk together with a fork until well mixed. In the third bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, parmesan, garlic salt, herbs, salt and pepper.
  • Now crumb the chicken: with each chicken piece, first dredge it in flour until well coated, then dip in the egg until fully covered, and finally turn it over in the breadcrumbs until fully coated. Set aside until ready to cook.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons of oil and 1 tablespoon of butter in a frying pan. Once it is hot, place two of the chicken pieces into the pan. They should sizzle as they hit the pan. Cook until browned underneath - around 3-4 minutes. Flip the chicken over and cook on the other side until cooked through - a further 3-4 minutes.
  • Repeat step 5 with the remaining two pieces of chicken.
