Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup whole wheat breadcrumbs
- 2 pieces egg whites
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 as needed olive oil spray
- 4 pieces lemon wedges
Instructions
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to about 1/2-inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
In a shallow dish, combine whole wheat breadcrumbs, lemon zest, chopped fresh parsley, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, lightly beat the egg whites until slightly frothy.
Dip each chicken breast first into the egg whites, ensuring both sides are coated, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to evenly coat each side.
Spray a non-stick skillet with olive oil spray and heat over medium heat.
Place the breaded chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for about 6-7 minutes on each side, or until the chicken is golden brown and thoroughly cooked with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes.
Serve the chicken escalopes hot with lemon wedges on the side.
