How to Make Barefoot Contessa S Parmesan Chicken
- Pound chicken breasts to 1/4-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- In a shallow dish, combine 1/2 cup all-purpose flour, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/2 teaspoon black pepper.
- In a separate shallow dish, whisk 2 large eggs.
- In a third shallow dish, combine 1 1/2 cups breadcrumbs and 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess. Dip in the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat 1 tablespoon butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Cook 2-3 chicken breasts at a time for 2-3 minutes per side, or until cooked through and golden brown. Add more butter and oil as needed.
- Serve immediately, topped with extra grated Parmesan cheese, if desired.
