Ingredients

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 tablespoon milk
  • 1 cup parmesan cheese, freshly grated
  • 3/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
  • 2 teaspoons dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 8 chicken breasts, tenderized to 1/4 in. thick

  1. 1
    In a shallow bowl or pie plate, lightly beat the eggs with the milk.

    In a separate bowl or on a sheet of waxed paper, combine the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, oregano and salt.
  3. 3
    Dip the chicken first in the egg mixture, then in the Parmesan mixture, until well coated. (You can do this up to 4 hours ahead of cooking, then place the coated chicken on a plate, cover loosely, and refrigerate).

    In a 10-inch skillet, heat 1 tbs. of the oil over MEDIUM heat until hot but not smoking.

    Add 2 pieces of chicken and saute until golden brown and just cooked through, about 1 1/2 mins per side.
  6. 6
    With tongs or a kitchen fork, transfer the cooked chicken to a platter. Repeat, using 1 tbs. of oil for every 2 pieces of chicken.
  7. 7
    Divide evenly among 4 dinner plates and serve with lemon wedges, if you like.
