Ingredients

Scale

2 chicken breasts, sliced in 4-6 filets

2 eggs

¾ cup parmesan cheese, shredded

¼ cup all-purpose flour

salt and pepper

1 tbsp. olive oil

4 tbsp. butter

3 tbsp. lemon juice

1 garlic clove, minced

1 lemon cut into slices

Fresh herbs

Instructions

  1. In a shallow bowl mix together your eggs until the yolk and whites combine.
  2. Mix parmesan cheese, flour, salt, and pepper in a separate bowl.
  3. Dip each chicken fillet in the egg and then in the parmesan cheese mixture until fully covered.
  4. Heat a non-stick skillet to medium-high and add the olive oil.
  5. Cook the chicken for about 4 minutes on each side until it’s golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F. If it’s browning too quickly, reduce the heat. Set the cooked chicken aside.
