If you are a busy mom or a working woman, you want a delicious dish that is easy to make and quick to get to the table. This one checks off all of those requirements.

Ingredients

• 1 lb. chicken breasts (butterflied or thinly cut into cutlets)
• salt and pepper, to taste
• 1 c. finely grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs, beaten
• dry parsley, to taste
• 1 c. panko breadcrumbs
• oil, for frying
• Lemon Garlic Pasta:
• 1 lb. linguine or spaghetti or favorite pasta
• juice from 2 lemons, or to taste
• 6 garlic cloves, minced
• zest from 1/2 lemon
• 4 T. butter, cold
• 4-6 T. whipping cream, or to taste
• pinch of salt and pepper, or to taste

Steps

1. Place Parmesan cheese in a shallow dish. In a second dish, beat the eggs, then add dry parsley. In a third dish, place panko breadcrumbs.
2. Wash chicken and pat dry; season with salt and pepper; dredge chicken in Parmesan cheese; dip into beaten eggs; press chicken in panko breadcrumbs and coat on both sides; shake off excess. Let the coating dry about 5 minutes before proceeding.
3. (While coating is drying, or even before, start the water for the pasta.)
