Parmesan Crusted Chicken
Ingredients:

Instructions:
Step 1: Prep the Chicken: Place chicken breasts between plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound to about ½ inch thickness.
Step 2: Prepare Coatings: In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg and water until smooth. In another dish, mix Parmesan cheese, garlic, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: Coat the Chicken: Dip each breast in the egg mixture, then press into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
Step 4: Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil and 1 stick of butter in a large skillet over medium-high heat until melted and hot. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp 165°F/74°C). Add remaining butter halfway through cooking to keep the chicken moist and flavorful.
Step 5: Rest and Serve: Transfer the chicken to a plate and let rest for a few minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh herbs if you like. Serve warm and enjoy!
