Dumb question - Basic recipe for breaded chicken breasts (the kind you add parmesan cheese to & then fry)?!
Ingredients:
4 chicken breasts, boneless skinless
2 beaten eggs
all-purpose flour seasoned w/ salt and pepper
bread crumbs that I've mixed parmesan cheese into
oil for frying (olive or canola)
So these are the ingredients I have on hand.
Instructions:
Heat a non-stick pan w/ oil. Pound out the chicken thinly and evenly between 2 sheets saran wrap. Put the seasoned flour in a shallow dish, In another dish beat up the eggs. Then in another dish mix up breadcrumbs w/ the parmesan cheese (I don't know the exact amounts here?) Now I dredge a chicken breast in the flour, shake off excess, dip into the beaten eggs, let excess drip off and finally coat in the breadcrumb parmesan cheese mixture. Repeat w/ rest of the chicken breasts. Fry each coated breast in the hot oil till golden brown. Is this the correct process and ingredients for these?

Sounds perfect...if you want to make a true parmesana, after you have done the above recipe, place breasts in a baking dish, top with marinara sauce and slices if mozzerella cheese and bake until cheese is well melted. Serve with a side of pasta.
You are pretty well set.
Sounds good to me, when frying chicken I never measure my flour and bread crumbs, but for four chix breasts I would use probably about a cup and half. Also when making my egg wash I always add a little milk just for consistency. Also Canola Oil works best for this, I have used both but prefer the Canola because the Olive is a little greasier. I love fried chicken, but I know it's not the healthiest so we only eat it once or twice a month and it turns out great every time!
The recipe you have sounds yummy.
Once the chicken has been fried, if you were to place the chicken in a pan (in a single layer) with marinara or spaghetti sauce spread in the bottom of the pan, and then add a slice of provolone or fresh block parmesan cheese to the top of each chicken breast and bake just until the cheese is melted and brown (couple of minutes) and the sauce is hot, you'd have a kicking Chicken Parmesan.
Sounds perfect !!
If you serve this with a base layer of pasta, your chicken, a ladle of good spaghetti sauce, top with mozzarella cheese (or parmesan), put under the broiler until cheese melted, then you would have true Chicken Parmesan.
Otherwise, you have delicious parmesan chicken cutlets.
Oh gosh, it's only 9am here, and you are making me hungry!
You can call it any that you suggested. Me personally I would name it Chicken Parmesan.
What you are making is breaded chicken cutlets.
If you want to make it chicken parm just take your breaded cooked cutlets and put on a pan with spaghetti sauce and shredded mozzarella cheese, bake til cheese is running and golden, 5-10 minutes @ 400 degrees.
Serve with spaghetti and what a meal.
