Crispy Parmesan Chicken with Broccoli

recipe

• Step 1
  Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Cut the broccoli into florets.
• Step 2
  Add the broccoli to the pot and cook for 10 minutes.
• 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 it into thin cutlets.
• Step 4
  Meanwhile, lightly beat the egg together with a pinch of salt and pepper in a shallow bowl.
• Step 5
  Mix the bread crumbs with half of the parmesan and place on a plate.
• Step 6
  Place the flour on a separate plate. Dip the cutlets in the flour, then the beaten egg, then the bread crumbs.
• Step 7
  For a thicker crust, dip the breaded cutlets one more time in the egg and then the bread crumbs.
• Step 8
  Drain the broccoli.
• Step 9
  Heat 5-10cl of oil in a medium frying pan over medium heat. Once the oil sizzles when a pinch of bread crumbs is added, add the cutlets.
• Step 10
  Cook over medium heat for 3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
• Step 11
  Transfer the cutlets to a paper towel-lined plate. Season to taste with salt, then cut into slices (optional).
• Step 12
  Plate the chicken with the broccoli, drizzled with a little olive oil. Sprinkle the remaining grated parmesan over the plate and serve!
