Crispy Parmesan Chicken with Broccoli

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!
