What is Parmesan Based Breaded Chicken Breast?
This is a simple chicken breast dish that’s breaded in parmesan cheese and crispy bread crumbs, and pan fried or baked until crispy and golden brown.
Slice a chicken breast in half through the middle, to get a thin and flat piece of chicken.
This is mainly a pan fried chicken dish but can be baked in oven. If you’re looking for a deep fried option, then try this deep fried chicken tender instead.
The main advantage of this recipe is that it’s one of the fastest meals you can prepare because chicken breasts cook up very fast.
How to make this dish?
It is very simple to cook breaded chicken. You just need few ingredients in this dish like parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, dried basils, minced garlic, egg, black pepper, etc.
You just need seasoning the chicken tender with black pepper, kosher salt, and garlic salt.
Before starting the seasoning, the first thing I like to do is whip out a zester, instead of a grater, to cut out the parmesan cheese.
By zesting instead of grating, it gives a very lighter texture, so it sticks to the chicken breasts very well.
Dip the seasoned chicken tender in the parmesan cheese then into the beaten egg. Shake off excess parmesan before dipping into the egg.
Finally, dip the chicken in the panko breadcrumbs. Once the chicken breasts are breaded, ready to fry. Pan fry them in olive oil or any vegetable oil for 6-7 minutes.
