parmesan chicken sticks









These Parmesan Cheese Sticks are amazing.

parmesan cheese sticks (blog: Sisters Cafe)
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 3 or 4)
1 cup flour
1 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 eggs
1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/2 cup grated parmesan
unsalted butter
olive oil
bamboo skewers (6-10 inches long)

Lay the chicken breasts on a cutting board and slice each diagonally into 4 or 5 large strips.
Grab 3 dinner plates and set them before you. Combine the flour, salt and pepper on the first dinner plate. Beat the eggs with 1 tablespoon water and place on second plate. Combine the bread crumbs and parmesan on the third plate. Dredge (lightly coat chicken to be fried) chicken breasts on both side in the flour mixture, then dip both sides into the egg mixture and last, roll in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to coat.
Heat 1 tablespoon of butter and 1 tablespoon olive oil in a large saute pan and cook the chicken strips on medium-low heat for about 3 minutes on each side, just until 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 cookie sheet in an oven preheated to 200 degrees while the rest of the chicken is cooked.
