By boscobojo

Ingredients

• Dipping Mixture:
• 2 egg whites
• 2 tsp. cornstarch
• Juice of 1/2 a lemon
• Crusting mixture:
• 1 cup coarse dry bread crumbs
• 1 Tbl. chopped fresh parsley
• 1 tsp. kosher salt
• 1/4 black pepper
• Minced zest of 1 lemon
• 3 Tbl. olive oil

Preparation

Step 1

Preheat oven to 450 degrees.

Pound chicken breast.

Blend egg whites, cornstarch, and lemon juice in a wide, shallow dish.

Combine bread crumbs, parsley, salt, pepper, and zest in a second wide, shallow dish. Dip chicken in egg whites, then into crust mixture. Let chicken rest on a rack in the refrigerator 20-30 minutes to set crust.

Saute chicken in oil in a large nonstick, oven proof skillet over medium high heat until chicken in golden brown and crisp, about 3 minutes. Carefully turn with a spatula, and transfer the skillet to the oven to finish cooking. Roast chicken just until done, about 8 minutes more.
