Notes
Parmesan: We use the powdery grated Parmesan you can find at the cheese counter. The kind in the green shaker bottle does work as well, but fresh is so much better.
Bread Crumbs: For extra crispy chicken, use panko. For a low carb version, use almond flour.
Serving: I like to give these a little sprinkle of flaky sea salt just before serving. We usually slice them up and serve with pasta or salad.
