How can I make a quick Parmesan crusted chicken breast?!
Answers: I need something to go with my left over linguine
Neither of those sound great... to me anyway. Quickly sear the chicken breast on high heat, then place on a baking tray with wax paper- Put shredded parm cheese, salt, pepper and crushed garlic on top. Bake until chicken is cooked and the cheese is crusty and golden brown, then sprinkle parsley over it.
salt & pepper
1cup breadcrumbs
1 cup grated parm cheese
Mix well
eggs
dip breasts in eggs then dry and fry.
Try mixing some dryed imitation potatoe flakes with parmesan cheese some garlic powder and a little basil. Dip your boneless chicken in egg and then dredge in the flakes. Bake in a lightly sprayed pan till chicken is cooked through. Before removing from the oven top the chicken with some provolone cheese. Serve with your linguine along with some garlic bread. Sounds like a very yummy dinner.
