Parmesan-crusted Chicken

I was craving fried chicken but I hate making it... too messy!  So I threw together this dish that went beyond satisfaction.  Enjoy!

Ingredients:
3 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, halved & pounded out to about 1/2"
2 eggs, beaten
About 1/2 C grated Parmesan/Romano cheese blend
About 1/4 C flour
2 T butter
2 T EVOO
Salt & pepper

1. Prepare 1 bowl with the eggs & another bowl with the cheese & flour blended together.
2. Over medium heat, in a nonstick skillet, melt butter & blend in EVOO.
3. Salt & pepper chicken, dip in egg then coat each side with the cheese blend & into the pan.  Brown both sides until they're a nice golden color then remove to a baking sheet.
4. Finish off in a 425 degree oven for about 15 minutes.

Kitchen note:  Pounding chicken tenderizes the meat and finishing in the oven rather than the stovetop gives you deliciously juicy results!
