Breaded Chicken Breasts

I know many of us have the cookbook Nourishing Traditions. If you don't, here is a great recipe we tried recently and loved! It's super easy!

Breaded Chicken Breasts
Serves 4-6

8 skinless chicken breasts (i used the chicken tender size)
1 1/2 cups unbleached flour
1 teaspoon pepper
4 eggs, beaten
2 cups whole grain bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan Cheese
about 4 tablespoons butter
about 4 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil

Trim chicken breast and pound lightly (or skip if you have the tenders size). Mix flour and pepper together on a plate; have beaten eggs ready in a bowl; mix bread crumbs and Parm. cheese in another bowl. Using tongs dip each piece first in the flour mixture, then in the beaten egg, then in the bread crumb mixture. Saute a few at a time in butter and olive oil about 7 minutes per side, being careful not to burn (i put the cover on the pan in order to help it stay moist) Transfer to a heated platter and keep warm in the oven until ready to serve.

A great thing to pack in kids lunches or for a meal on the go! I froze the left overs and will use them as a quick meal for Anna when I need something for her to eat!

ENJOY!
