2 chicken breasts butterflied and flattened to be equal sizes
2 eggs
1 1/2 cups Italian style breadcrumbs
1 Cup flour
1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
Salt
Pepper
Vegetable oil
Sauce
Mozzarella cheese
Pam or parchment paper
Preheat oven 400
Whisk eggs with a splash of water, salt and pepper in a shallow dish/bowl
In another shallow dish/bowl add breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese (you can add garlic powder or more Italian spices to this if you want)
Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until hot (you only need about a 1/2 inch of oil)
Dredge chicken in the flour on both sides
Dredge chicken in the egg mixture on both sides
Dredge chicken into the breadcrumbs
Place coated chicken into the skillet and fry until golden and crispy 3-5 minutes each side.
Place chicken on baking sheet either sprayed with Pam or parchment paper
Top each chicken with sauce and mozzarella cheese
Cook for 10-20 minutes till chicken is cooked to temperature and cheese is melted.
Alternate Method:
Follow same steps as above, but instead of pan frying:
Put breaded chicken on a cookie sheet that is either lined with parchment paper or put a light coat of vegetable oil on the cookie sheet.
Bake 7 minutes and flip the chicken over.
After another 3 minutes check the temperature of the chicken
When chicken is almost to temperature, top with sauce and cheese.
Continue to bake till cheese is melted and chicken is cooked to temperature.
