Ingredients

• 2 pieces chicken breasts
• 50 grams all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 100 grams breadcrumbs
• 30 grams Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 100 milliliters vegetable oil
• 2 pieces lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment paper.

Step 2

Using a rolling pin or meat mallet, gently pound the chicken until it's about 1/2 inch thick.

Step 3

Set up a breading station. In one shallow bowl, add the flour. In the second shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In the third shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken breast in flour, making sure to cover all sides and shake off any excess.

Step 5

Dip the floured breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 6

Coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the breadcrumbs adhere well.

Step 7

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. The oil should be hot but not smoking.

Step 8

Carefully add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side or until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 9

Transfer the cooked escalope to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil.

Step 10

Garnish the chicken escalopes with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side.
