Crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken

• khẩu phần: 4 servings
• tổng thời gian: 15 minutes

Nguyên liệu

500 g / 1 lb chicken breast (2 pieces) (Note 1)

1 egg

1 garlic clove (, minced, optional)

Salt and pepper

125 g / 4 oz / 1 1/4 cups shredded parmesan (Note 2)

2 tbsp butter (or more oil)

1 tbsp olive oil

Hướng dẫn

Cut each breast in half horizontally to make 4 steaks. If they are much thicker than 1.75 cm / 3/4" thick (at the thickest point), pound a bit.

Place egg, garlic, pinch of salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk with fork.

Place parmesan in a shallow bowl.

Dredge chicken in egg, then place in parmesan CUT SIDE DOWN (Note 3). Press, then turn. Coat with extra parmesan, press. Shake off excess. Repeat with remaining chicken.

Melt butter and heat oil in a large skillet over high heat.

Place chicken in non-stick skillet (or well seasoned cast iron skillet). DO NOT MOVE chicken otherwise the cheese will slide off surface before it adheres! It adheres once it turns crispy.

Press down lightly with spatula. Lift a corner to take a peek and turn with tongs when it's deep golden brown (3 minutes for me).

Cook the other side for 3 minutes or until also deep golden brown and crispy (again, do not move until golden). Lightly press down with spatula. Don't cook longer than 6 minutes in total - dries out the chicken.

Serve immediately! I served mine with lemon slices, Cauliflower Mash and a Fennel Slaw with Yoghurt Dressing (Note 5).
