Parmesan Chicken Sticks Recipe


Ingredients

* 1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken breasts (3 to 4)
* 1 cup flour
* 1 teaspoon kosher salt
* 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
* 2 extra-large eggs
* 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
* 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
* Unsalted butter
* Good olive oil
* Bamboo skewers (6 to 10 inches long) or ice-cream sticks

Directions

Lay the chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice each diagonally into 4 or 5 large strips.

Combine the flour, salt, and pepper on a dinner plate. Beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon of water on a second plate. Combine the breadcrumbs and Parmesan on a third plate. Dredge the chicken breasts on both sides in the flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and roll in the bread-crumb mixture, pressing lightly to coat.

Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large saute pan and cook the chicken strips on medium-low heat for about 3 minutes on each side, until just cooked through. Don't crowd the pan. Add more butter and oil and cook the rest of the chicken breasts. Serve each strip on a skewer or stick.

You can keep the chicken breasts warm for about 15 minutes on a sheet pan in a preheated 200 degree F oven.
