Recipe : Breaded Chicken Limone
Ingredients
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves - pounded to 1/2 inch thickness
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups bread crumbs
salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 tablespoon olive oil
4 tablespoons butter, divided
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 (10 ounce) package frozen Brussels sprouts, thawed and diced
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
3/4 cup water
2 tablespoons lemon juice
1 (16 ounce) can navy beans, drained
1 tablespoon white sugar
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon salt
ground black pepper to taste
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese for topping
Directions
Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C).
