We have this favorite meal in our house - well, actually we have many favorite meals - but one of these favorites is Tomato And Basil Capellini. We have it quite often, but I had to figure out some type of chicken to go with it. That's how I came up with Parmesan Crusted Chicken. This chicken is easy, tasty, and the perfect accompaniment to our Tomato And Basil Capellini.
Ingredients:
6 thin chicken breasts
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp garlic powder
3/4 tsp thyme
1/2 tsp basil
1/2 tsp oregano
3/4 tsp salt
olive oil
In a shallow dish combine the bread crumbs, cheese, seasonings and salt. Stir to combine.
Place chicken breasts in a plastic bag and pound until about 1/2 inch thin. I just used a rolling pin - you could use a mallet if you had one.
Cover the bottom of a non-stick pan with olive oil - about 1/2 to 1 cup. Heat oil on medium-high heat.
Then place the chicken in the bread crumb mixture and coat completely.
Once your oil is nice and hot, place the chicken in the oil. Cook until golden brown - about 5 minutes.
Then flip the chicken over and cook on the other side - another 5 to 7 minutes.
This is what it looks like when your chicken is all done. Crispy, juicy, seasoned perfectly and absolutely amazing!
