Crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken- Quick Weeknight Dinner
This Crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken Recipe is one of my favorite dishes to make for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. Chicken cutlets (thin sliced chicken breast) cook so quickly and it can be served with a veggie on the side.
Ingredients
| Chicken breast | 1 1/4 Pound , thinly cut (aka chicken cutlets) | |
| Salt and pepper | To Taste | |
| Rosemary sprig | 1 , mince | |
| Grated parmesan cheese | 1 Cup (16 tbs) , zested | |
| Eggs | 2 | |
| Panko bread crumbs | 1 Cup (16 tbs) | |
| Olive oil | 2 Tablespoon |

GETTING READY
1. In a breading bowl, beat egg and rosemary. Set aside.
MAKING
2. On work surface, place chicken breasts and season them with salt and pepper.
3. Coat chicken with cheese, shake off the excess, wash with egg mixture, let the excess drip and then coat with bread crumbs. Repeat for the other chicken pieces.
