Ingredients
Scale
1lb chicken breast
1 cup bread crumbs (I like gluten free)
½ cup grated cheese, sharp cheddar or parmesan
1 egg
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp nutritional yeast
1 tsp salt
1 tsp pepper
½ cup olive oil
Instructions
- Lay the chicken on parchment paper and cover. Pound thin, about ½ an inch thick.
- In a bowl, add the egg and spices, then whisk together.
- Add the chicken and toss until the chicken is well-coated.
- In a bowl, mix together the bread crumbs and cheese, then dredge the wet chicken through this dry mix. Push in extra to get as much coating on the chicken as possible.
- Pan fry in olive oil over medium heat, about 7 minutes on the first side, and 5-6 minutes on the second side.
- Drain on a wire rack and season with salt.
