Closet Cooking

Cooking adventures in a small, closet sized, kitchen. - I came to realize that my meals were boring and that I had been eating the same few dishes over and over again for years. It was time for a change! I now spend my free time searching for, creating and trying tasty new recipes in my closet sized kitchen.

Crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Quick and easy chicken crusted in golden brown crispy coating of parmesan cheese! Yum!

This crispy parmesan crusted chicken is one of my favourite go-to recipes for any occasion! It’s so easy to make, it takes almost no time and it tastes so good that family, friends and dinner guests are impressed and asking for seconds! The recipe is as simple as seasoning the chicken, coating it in parmesan cheese and then frying it until the cheese is golden brown, crispy and oh so good! Lets start with the chicken which is boneless and skinless breasts (or thighs), so light and healthy, and it’s dipped into egg before dipping it into the cheese; the egg helps make the cheese stick to the chicken. I take the opportunity to add flavour by seasoning the egg dip with oregano, garlic powder and onion powder which is in addition to the slat and pepper that the chicken it seasoned with. When using parmesan cheese I normally I like got get a wedge of parmigiano reggiano and grate or shred it myself but, it’s so easy to pick up a bag of pre-shredded parmesan these days which makes this recipe even easier! Once the chicken is all seasoned and cheese-d up it’s fried in oil and butter until its golden brown and crispy! I like to finish the chicken off with a splash of lemon juice along with fresh chopped parsley! Steam a veggie, like broccoli, while cooking the chicken to make a really quick and easy meal that’s perfect for any occasion, including busy work nights!
