Chicken Oregano

By ngaldi

This can be served hot from the oven, but makes good picnic fare and is delicious at room temperature.

Ingredients

• 2 eggs, lightly beaten
• 1/4 cup milk
• 1 cup unseasoned fine bread crumbs, preferably made from French or Italian bread
• 3/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 1/2 tablespoons dried oregano, finely crumbled

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350°.
In a shallow bowl, stir together the eggs and milk. Combine the breadcrumbs, cheese, oregano, and salt and pepper to taste in a separate shallow bowl. Dip the chicken pieces into the egg mixture, then coat with the crumb mixture, patting crumbs so that they adhere to all sides of the chicken. Repeat the dipping and coating if necessary to coat the chicken sufficiently. Place the chicken pieces on a greased baking sheet and bake until the meat is tender and the coating is crisp, about 40 minutes.
