Erica's Wonderful Chicken

(This has been a family favorite since I got the recipe from my long time friend, Erica.  We have enjoyed many memories together which I will always cherish- we still get together for lunch every week and it's the highlight of our week)


*boneless, skinless chicken breasts 

- I filet them and cut them proportion size or you can pound them down so about 1/4 to 1/2 inch thick

*Italian dressing 

- I use a cheap bottle one, but I do like the flavor of the zesty Italian one best.  

**Marinate the chicken breasts in Italian dressing for about 3 days  in the refrigerator- it penetrates the chicken and makes it tender and flavorful 

** Add flour to a plate

 When ready to use the chicken breasts, discard the dressing then coat  the breasts in the flour

** next you are going to make an egg wash:

- beat 2 eggs, add 1/4 to 1/2 c. sour cream and mix together - I have just added a little bit of water instead of the sour cream

**  1 to 1 1/2 c. Italian bread crumbs ( I use Panko bread crumbs and add 1 Tbsp. Italian seasoning)    

** 1/2 c. Parmesan cheese (from the can) 

**Add the bread crumbs to the Parmesan cheese and put on plate

**dredge the chicken into this mixture

**heat up Olive oil and fry the chicken until it's done 

** Enjoy!  These are tender and delicious!

***You can also put them in the oven instead of frying them
