Method one step at a time, with timers in the app
- Slice the chicken breasts through their width so that they are as flat as possible.
- Pound breasts as flat as possible.
- Add flour to a bowl or basin large enough to fit a breast, add pepper.
- Crack eggs into another large bowl or basin and whisk them.
- Add breadcrumbs to yet another large bowl or basin. Add generous amounts of grated parmesan.
- One by one, take each breast and dip and cover it in the flour, then the egg, then the bread crumbs.
- Cover a pan with olive oil and heat it just under when it begins to smoke.
- Fry the bread crumb-coated chicken breasts in the oil. Add butter generously while frying to ensure frying oil does not evaporate.
- Move fried breasts to an oiled or buttered pan, add mozzarella and parmesan on them.
- Broil/cook the breasts only long enough for the cheese to melt.
- Serve the breasts with pasta sauce either above or below. This is often served with pasta.
