Parmesan chicken with a green salad.

Equipment

You will need a large non-stick frying pan.

Top Tip!

If you don't have Panko crumbs although they can be found in any good supermarket. You can use stale bread whizzed up in a food processor.

If you don't have stale bread just leave a couple of slices out of the packaging and it will turn dry after about 30 minutes to an hour.

  2. Looking great Jan! I often do this, and sometimes I turn it into Chicken Parmesa by adding a delicious tomato sauce and some Mozzarella cheese. Layered and baked it is oh so scrummy!
