• Step 1
  Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Wash & cut the broccoli into florets.
• Step 2
  Add the broccoli to the pot. Cook for 5 min.
• Step 3
  Place the chicken on a sheet of plastic wrap. Cover with another sheet. Then use a heavy pot, rolling pin or meat tenderizer to pound the chicken into thin cutlets.
• Step 4
  In a small bowl, whisk together the egg, salt & pepper.
• Step 5
  In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs with half the grated parmesan.

  Place the flour in a separate shallow dish. Dredge the tender cutlets in the flour, then the beaten egg, then the bread crumb mixture.
• Step 7
  For an extra crispy crust, dip the breaded cutlets into the egg & bread crumbs again!
• Step 8
  Drain the broccoli.
• Step 9
  Add the vegetable oil to a pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is shimmering & hot, add the cutlets.
• Step 10
  Cook for 5-7 min on each side, or until golden & crispy. Be sure the chicken is cooked through!
• Step 11
  Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Season with salt & pepper.

  Serve the chicken alongside the broccoli. Sprinkle the remaining grated parmesan over top. Season with salt & pepper. Enjoy!
