Expert Tips

• If your chicken is much thicker on one end than the other, pound it with a meat mallet so that it is even.That will help it cook evenly so that the thing part doesn’t overcook while you wait for the thick part to be done.
• Use freshly grated Parmesan.It will melt much better than the pre-grated kind.
• Don’t overcrowd the frying pan.If you have more than will fit with some space in between the chicken pieces, cook it in batches and keep the first batch warm in a 200°F oven while you cook the rest.
