Chicken Escalopes With Parmesan Coating Food

CRISPY PARMESAN CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the chicken breasts between cling film sheets and lightly bat, until about half to one centimetre/quarter to half an inch thick. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Dust in flour to coat thoroughly, tapping away any excess.
• Mix together the breadcrumbs and parmesan.
• Dip the flattened chicken breasts (escalopes) in the beaten egg, followed by the Parmesan breadcrumbs.
• Heat some olive oil with the butter in a large frying pan. Once sizzling, add the crumbed escalopes and cook for three to four minutes on each side until crispy and golden.
• For the soft basil tomatoes, preheat the grill and put the tomato halves on a baking tray, topping each with a slice of garlic. Season with a good twist of fresh black pepper and a sprinkling of sea salt.
• Drizzle with olive oil and grill until just overdone, their softness providing the escalopes with a sauce to dip into.
• Tear the basil leaves and scatter them over the tomatoes with a drizzle of olive oil.
• Serve the escalopes on a warm plate with the soft basil tomatoes and a wedge of lemon.
