Parmesan Crusted Chicken

I'm really excited to share this recipe with you all. I found it a few years ago and it very quickly became a staple in my recipe file. While yes, its just another chicken recipe, when done right its a easy fix and the flavor in the chicken is so so good. I love to pair it up with a pasta tossed in lemon juice and zest and a yummy glass of pinot grigio.


Ingredients

• 1/4 cup flour
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• 1 egg
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts

• 2 tsp lemon juice

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
2. In a shallow bowl, combine flour, salt, and garlic powder.

4. In a third bowl, place the Parmesan cheese.
5. Coat the chicken in the flour mixture, then dip in the egg, then roll in the cheese.
6. In a large skillet, brown the chicken in olive oil on both sides.
