I am posting the original recipe that I received but I have changed things when I didn't have them on hand such as the cheese, I've used a mixture of Parmesan and mild cheddar. And I never seem to have time to flatten them so I just just browned them first and then cook them in the oven to finish them off.
Ingredients:
4 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
1 1/4 cups flour
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon ground nutmeg
1/8 teaspoon ground pepper
1 egg, slightly beaten
2/3 cup swiss cheese or 2/3 cup gruyere or 2/3 cup your favorite cheese, finely shredded
1/2 cup dry italian seasoned breadcrumbs
1/4 cup butter
1 lemon, cut in wedges, for garnish
Directions:
1. Pound breasts lightly to flatten to uniform 1/4 inch thick: set aside.
2. Sift together flour, salt, nutmeg, and pepper; Have beaten egg in a pie pan. Mix together cheese and bread crumbs; set aside.
3. Coat breast halves with seasoned flour, shaking off excess; dip in egg, then in cheese-crumb mixture, coating well.
4. In a large, non-stick skillet over MEDIUM heat, melt butter.
5. Add chicken and sauté until golden brown on both sides (about 5 minutes per side). Drain on paper towels.
6. Serve with lemon wedges.
