2 split (1 whole) boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
1 extra-large egg
1/2 tablespoon water
3/4 cup seasoned dry bread crumbs
Good olive oil
3 tablespoons unsalted butter, room temperature, divided

1/2 cup dry white wine
Sliced lemon, for serving

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F. Line a sheet pan with parchment paper.
  • Place each chicken breast between 2 sheets of parchment paper or plastic wrap and pound out to 1/4-inch thick. Sprinkle both sides with salt and pepper.
  • Mix the flour, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and 1/4 teaspoon of pepper in a shallow plate. In a second plate, beat the egg and 1/2 tablespoon of water together. Place the bread crumbs on a third plate.

PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN FINGERS



Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Fingers image

These Parmesan-crusted chicken fingers have all the flavour and appeal of the greasy fast-food classic but are baked using an "oven frying" technique that used hardly any oil. Adding Parmesan cheese and tangy Dijon mustard to crunchy Japanese-style breadcrumbs (panko) gives these easy-to-prepare chicken fingers a sophisticated coating the whole family will enjoy. Look for panko breadcrumbs in the Asian section of your market. For even more kid appeal, serve the chicken fingers with a homemade honey mustard sauce, or a sweet-and-sour sauce made from apricot jam, cider vinegar, salt and pepper and a drop of hot sauce.

Tips:

  • For crispy chicken fingers, coat the chicken in flour, then egg, then breadcrumbs before frying.
  • To make sure the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • If you don't have a meat thermometer, you can also check that the chicken is cooked through by cutting into it and making sure that the juices run clear.
  • For a healthier version of chicken fingers, bake them in the oven instead of frying them.
  • Chicken piccata is a classic Italian dish that is easy to make at home. The key to a good chicken piccata is to use a good quality white wine and to cook the chicken until it is golden brown and cooked through.
  • To make sure the chicken piccata sauce is creamy, use a combination of butter and heavy cream.
  • For a more flavorful chicken piccata, add some chopped fresh herbs, such as basil or parsley, to the sauce.

Conclusion:
