Prep Time: 10 min
Cook Time: 20 min

Ingredients

1 cup cornflakes, lightly crushed
3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon pepper
3 large eggs, beaten
four 6-ounce boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
5 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil


Directions

1. Preheat the oven to 350°. In a shallow bowl, combine the cornflakes, parmesan and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper. Place the eggs in another shallow bowl. Coat each chicken breast with the cornflake mixture, then the eggs, then again with the cornflake mixture; transfer to a wax-paperlined baking sheet.
2. In a large nonstick skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook, turning once, until golden, about 2 minutes per side. Transfer to a clean baking sheet. Bake the chicken until cooked through, about 10 minutes.
