Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup Gluten-free all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 large Egg
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken until it is about 1/4 inch thick.
In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free flour, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the egg with the tablespoon of water.
In a third shallow dish, mix the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and dried oregano.
Dip each chicken piece first in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip in the beaten egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere.
In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat until shimmering.
Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through.
Transfer the chicken escalopes to a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Serve the chicken escalopes hot with lemon wedges for squeezing over.
