Baked Breaded Chicken Breast

In search of a (cough cough) better way to eat breaded chicken, I found this worked really well when done correctly. As if there is anyway to eat breaded chicken healthy, this does cut down on all that frying in a deep frying pan or deep fryer.

• Serves: 4
• Yields: 4 breast

Ingredients

• 4  boneless skinless chicken breasts
• 2  cups  breadcrumbs
• 1⁄4 cup romano cheese
• 2  eggs
• 1⁄4 cup olive oil (reserve tsp for oven pan)
• 1  teaspoon black pepper
• 1  cup flour (of your choosing, Ive used coconut flour and regular unbleached flour)

Directions

1. you also need : cast iron pan.
2. pre heated oven at 400 degrees.
3. so, whisk together eggs and olive oil (reserving some for later) and pepper in a bowl. Heat cast iron or whatever pan you have that can also go into a 400 degree oven.
4. 1. Clean breaded chicken and pat dry.
5. 2. cover in flour.
6. 3. Cover in eggs mixture.
7. 4. Cover in bread crumbs.
8. 5. take reserved olive oil and place on hot pan.
9. 6. very quickly brown both side of the chicken ( if not done carefully bread crumb will fall apart).
10. 7. After 1 minute per side on the chicken, take directly into the hot oven and bake for 20 minutes. Done.
