Parmesan Crusted Chicken

This recipe I came up with one weekend while the husband was away at work. I had it two days in a row, once on a salad, once with tomato sauce on top, either way it's delish!

• 1 or 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts-- thin sliced


• 1 egg


• 1/2-3/4 parm cheese, grated


• 1/2 teaspoon dried parsley


• 1/2 teaspoon dried basil


• ground black pepper


• cooking spray


• large skillet

Heat the skillet over medium heat. Beat egg and dip chicken pieces into it, fully coat. Then mix Parmesan cheese, a few grids black pepper, parsley and basil and mix together. Coat the egg dipped chicken in the parm mixture. Spray skillet and cook chicken 3-4 minutes each side.

The taste of the crispy cheese on the outside kinda reminds me of a crispy grilled cheese sandwich. You can also use this chicken as a base for baked chicken parm. Just cook the chicken as per the directions, lay in a baking sheet, add sauce and mozzarella cheese on top and bake on 350 for 10 minutes. Be creative!
