Crispy Parmesan Chicken & Broccoli

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.

Step 6

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.

Step 12

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