Ingredients




½ cup flour
2 tablespoons herbes de Provence
3 skinless boneless chicken breasts
3 large eggs
1 cup panko
½ cup parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
¼ cup frying oil
lemon wedges

Preparation

1 Butterfly each chicken breast into two even portions making six pieces total. Cut a large piece of plastic wrap, place the chicken breast in the middle, fold over the excess plastic wrap to cover the top, and pound with a mallet into each piece to about ¼ inch thickness. 2 In a shallow dish combine the flour and the herbs de Provence. 3 In a second shallow dish whisk the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water together until blended. 4 In a third dish toss together the panko and parmesan cheese. 5 Generously season each chicken cutlet with salt and pepper on each side. Working with one at a time dredge both sides in the flour mixture. Transfer to the egg mixture and dredge both sides. Lift and let any egg excess runoff. 6 Transfer to the panko parmesan mixture and coat both sides well while pressing down. 7 In a large 12-inch non-stick skillet heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add two breasts at a time and let cook until golden brown on the bottom, about 4 minutes. Flip and continue to cook until golden brown, 4 minutes longer. 8 Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil. Repeat cooking the remainder chicken cutlets in the same manner. 9 Serve warm with lemon wedges.
