Ingredients

½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
1 teaspoons dried parsley
¼ teaspoon granulated garlic
¼ teaspoon coarse salt + 1 pinch
⅛ teaspoon black pepper
1 large egg
1-2 tablespoons water
2 boneless skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1″ thickness

Instructions

Using a meat mallet, pound the chicken to a 1 inch thickness.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg with 1 – 2 tablespoons of water. In a separate bowl, mix together the Panko, garlic, parsley, and salt & pepper.
Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, followed by the breading mixture until completely coated on both sides.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat with 2 tablespoons olive oil. Add breaded chicken and fry for about 4-5 minutes per side, or until the internal temperature reaches 165˚F.
Remove from pan and allow chicken to rest on a cooling rack for about 5 minutes before serving or slicing.
