Parmesan Chicken


I don't know why I'm always amazed by how good everything is with Parmesan cheese.  This chicken is no exception.  Plus, you have some choice as to how you cook it.  If you're in a hurry, you can cook it in the frying pan.  Feeling healthy?  Bake it!  Or you can go somewhere in between - whatever you like.  It'll be good however you cook it because of the Parmesan cheese.

Parmesan Chicken

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/4 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
1/4 tsp dried basil
1 egg
1-2 Tsbp vegetable oil

Flatten chicken to 1/4" thickness.  In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and basil.  In another bowl, beat the egg.  Dip chicken in the egg, then coat in crumb mixture. 

In a large skillet, brown chicken in oil over medium heat for 3-5 minutes per side or until juices run clear.  OR
