Parmesan-Crusted Chicken
This is a great streamlined chicken dish to make when you're tuckered out from all the holiday commotion. Be sure to use Japanese panko bread crumbs -- they have a bigger flake than traditional crumbs and make a crisper coating.

Servings: 4
Ingredients:
* 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
* 1 cup panko bread crumbs
* 1 teaspoon parsley
* 3 tablespoons olive oil
* 8 thin-sliced skinless, boneless chicken breasts
Directions:
In a large bowl, combine the cheese, bread crumbs and parsley. Add a generous amount of salt (or garlic salt) and pepper.
In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Place 1 piece of chicken at a time into the Parmesan mixture and coat with the crumbs. Add 2 to 3 chicken pieces to the pan at a time; don't crowd. Cook for about 4 minutes per side. Season with additional salt and pepper. Serve with mashed sweet potatoes if you like.
