Recipe: Parmesan Chicken Fingers (using chicken breasts and bread crumbs)

PARMESAN CHICKEN FINGERS

"This simple dish is just like store bought and fast food chicken fingers, only better for you."

2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup milk
3 tbsp. oil, divided use
1 tbsp. water
1/2 cup bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
2 tbsp. flour
1/2 tsp. salt
1/4 tsp. ground black pepper

Cut the chicken breasts into slices or chunks, and set aside in a large bowl.

In a small bowl, combine the beaten egg, milk, 1 tablespoon of the oil and 1 tablespoon water. Pour over the chicken.

In a flat pie plate, combine the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, flour, salt, and pepper. Mix together.

Remove the chicken fingers from the liquid mixture and dip into the bread crumb mixture, coating evenly.

Set the chicken fingers out onto a plate or a sheet of waxed paper.

In a large skillet, heat 2 Tbsp. of oil. Cook the chicken fingers in the hot oil until they are lightly browned, turning and flipping chicken fingers as necessary until they are fully cooked.
