A Spell for Flayed and Crispy Breast of Chicken from the Unofficial Hocus Pocus Book
Ingredients:
- 6 Boneless Chicken Breasts - cut in half lengthwise or buy thin sliced Chicken (about 6 pieces)
- 2 cups Flour (all - purpose or Almond Flour). Add more if needed.
- 4 eggs (add more if needed)
- 3 Cups Seasoned Breadcrumbs (You can use Panko or Italian Style) and yes, add more if needed.
- 1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese.
- 1 Tablespoon garlic powder or fresh minced garlic
- 1 tsp Salt & 1/2 tsp ground pepper or Butcher's Blend (S&P blend)
- Olive Oil - Our Favorite ingredient!!! Koroneiki Extra Virgin Olive Oil or Avocado Oil from Napa Valley
Directions:
Step One: Turn on music you like to get you in the mood for cooking
- Preheat oven to 425F.
- You need three bowls and a prepared pan for your coated chicken:
Bowl 1: Flour
Bowl 2: Eggs - beaten
Bowl 3: Breadcrumbs, cheese, salt, pepper, garlic
Prepared pan: Large sheet pan drizzled with olive oil or Avocado Oil
Pat each thin chicken breast dry and then individually put each breast into the flour and coat it. Then the eggs and lastly dredge the chicken in the breadcrumbs. Really making sure that it is coated and sticking to all of the surface area. You want a nice and crispy chicken piece.
Place each piece of chicken on the prepared pan, directly on the olive oil. Generously drizzle your chicken with more olive oil so your breadcrumbs get nice and crispy while cooking without drying up or burning.
Cook in the oven for 10 minutes and then turn the breast over and cook for another 10 minutes.
Enjoy with over salads or with sides of your choice.
