I love this recipe - the chicken is so tender, with a wonderfully flavored crispy crust.
Prep Time: 4 minutes
Cook Time: 6 minutes
Total Time: 10 minutes
Ingredients:
- 1 tsp. dried thyme leaves
- 1 tsp. dried minced chives
- 1/2 tsp. dried basil leaves
- 1/2 cup dry purchased fine bread crumbs
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1/8 tsp. pepper
- 1 Tbsp. olive oil
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 egg, beaten
Preparation:
Prepare two sided grill. In shallow pan, combine the herbs, bread crumbs, grated cheese, and salt and pepper. Drizzle the olive oil over this mixture, working it into crumbs gently until crumbs are coated.
Place chicken breasts between two sheets of waxed paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, lightly pound the breasts until they are about 1/2" thick.
Dip chicken breasts into beaten egg, then firmly press each coated breast into bread crumb mixture. Cook the chicken breasts on two sided dual contact indoor grill for 4 to 6 minutes until thoroughly cooked and until juices run clear.
OR you can place the chicken on a greased pan and bake in a preheated 400 degrees F oven for 19-24 minutes until thoroughly cooked.
OR you can cook the chicken in an ordinary skillet on the stove, over medium heat, for 10 to 12 minutes, turning once, until thoroughly cooked and crisp. 4 servings
