Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken breasts pounded thin
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1.5 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 lemon zested and juiced
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley chopped
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 3 tbsp olive oil

Method
 

  1. Whisk the lemon juice into the beaten eggs.
  2. Mix the breadcrumbs with the lemon zest, parsley, oregano, and salt.
  3. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then the lemon egg, then the herb breadcrumbs.
  4. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium and cook the chicken 4 to 5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through.
  5. Drain on paper towels and serve with extra lemon wedges.

Notes

Pounding the breasts thin helps them cook evenly without drying out.
