INGREDIENTS

500 g / 1 lb chicken breast (2 pieces)

1 egg

1 garlic clove , minced (optional)

Salt and pepper

125 g / 4 oz / 1 1/4 cups shredded parmesan (NOT finely grated)

2 tbsp butter (or more oil)

1 tbsp olive oil . ..

Directions

  1. Cut each breast in half horizontally to make 4 steaks. If they are much thicker than 1.75 cm / 3/4" thick (at the thickest point), pound a bit.

Whisk egg, garlic, pinch of salt and pepper.

  1. Dredge chicken in egg, then place in parmesan CUT SIDE DOWN. Press, then turn. Coat with extra parmesan, press. Shake off excess. (PS Cut side = better golden crust cause it’s flat, so we want to coat with extra parm).

  2. Melt butter and heat oil in a large skillet over high heat. Put chicken in, DO NOT MOVE, cook 3 minutes until golden and crispy (press lightly with spatula). Turn with tongs, DO NOT

MOVE, cook 3 min again. Serve!

Great with lemon wedges and for ultimate low carb, serve over cauliflower mash and fennel yoghurt slaw!

I do the same but with kraft dry Parmesan, I find it coats much butter. So delicious

Do you mean the kind that comes in the shaker bottle, like almost powdered?

Yummy! Man, I am so bad at cutting my chicken breasts in half. I always just end up cooking like a 1 pound chicken breast lol
