Instructions
- Start by cutting the breast into two lengthwise

- Now prepare three dipping stations, one with a whisked egg, one with all purpose flour and one with a mixture of Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs.
- Dip the seasoned chicken in to the whisked egg,
- Next dip into the flour and dust off the excess,
- Now dip in the egg again,
- Finally dip in the bread crumb and Parmesan mixture.
- Lay the prepared chicken breast on a baking tray that has been lined with foil or baking parchment that has been well oiled. Refrigerate for 30 mins.
