Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 2 tablespoons fresh basil, chopped
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil or cooking spray for frying
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and chopped basil.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then thoroughly coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and fry the chicken cutlets for about 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown.

- Serve warm and enjoy!
Notes
For extra crunch, double dip the coated chicken back into the egg mixture and breadcrumb mixture before frying. Fresh basil is recommended for the best flavor.
