Why we love this recipe
💡Why buy organic chicken? We recommend buying organic since it’s the high-quality meat that is raised sustainably without chemicals. Organic standards require that the chickens have access to the outdoors and cannot be given antibiotics or growth hormones (happy chickens!). This chicken recipe has become one of those back-pocket concepts we keep on hand for guests or for an easy dinner on a weeknight. It’s great on its own, or you can slice it to top a Caesar salad or rice bowl. Long live Parmesan crusted chicken!
Boneless skinless chicken breasts: You’ll need to butterfly the chicken breast for this recipe. You can buy it precut, in which case it’s often marked as cutlets. Buy organic chicken if possible! Egg: This helps the Parmesan breading to adhere to the chicken. All purpose flour: Flour makes for the perfect golden exterior. You can substitute almond flour for gluten-free. Grated Parmesan cheese: This is the key ingredient! Make sure it is grated with a powdery texture, not shredded. Italian seasoning and garlic powder: These spices add an intensely savory flavor. Olive oil, salt and pepper round out the ingredients.
