Parmesan Chicken

Ingredients
4 (4 ounce) boneless, skinless chicken breast halves
1/2 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 teaspoon dried basil
1 egg
1 tablespoon butter or margarine
1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Directions
Flatten chicken to 1/4-in. thickness. In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese and basil. In another bowl, beat the egg. Dip chicken into egg, then coat with crumb mixture. Instead of frying, I bake it in the oven. Melting the butter and adding it to the breadcrumbs BEFORE you bread the chicken helps make the coating crispy in the oven. I spray them with Pam before putting them in the oven because it get's a lovely crispy crust on the outside. Bake for 30 minutes or so, at 375.

Da-Lish!
