To make this chicken goodness, you’ll need:

- 2/3 cup breadcrumbs (homemade or store-bought)
- 1/2 cup finely grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese
- salt and pepper
- vegetable oil for frying
1. Cut the chicken breast into strips, about 1/4 thick (refer to the photo below).
2. Sprinkle the chicken with salt and pepper on both sides.
3. On a large plate, mix together the breadcrumbs and the Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese.
4. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour and shake off the excess. After that, dip them into the egg mixture and, finally, dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture (make sure it’s coated well).
5. Fry the chicken on medium heat, in a small amount of vegetable oil for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden and cooked through.
6. Garnish with lemon wedges and chopped parsley, if desired, and enjoy!

Can I bake the chicken instead of frying?
Hi Donna! Yes. I would suggest using parchment paper and straying the chicken with oil. Let me know if you try it!
What temp and how long would you bake for?
Bake at 400F for about 20-25 minutes, depending on the thickness of the chicken.
