gather your ingredients

  • Chicken breast
  • Bread crumbs
  • I use a plain breadcrumb since the Italian seasoning is going on the chicken breasts. You can choose to skip seasoning the breasts with Italian seasoning if using Italian breadcrumb.
  • Flour
  • Everything but the Bagel seasoning
  • Heavy cream or half and half
  • Lemon (optional)

Breaded chicken breasts are a staple in our house. It's Simple yet versatile.

We all know making dinner can be a chore, but this quick and easy breaded chicken is sure to limit your time in the kitchen and leave you reaching for another piece. Anytime I'm in a crunch for time or don't know what to put out for dinner, breaded chicken is on the menu for that meal. We love it with almost everything from pasta salad to potatoes. A recent hit is a breaded chicken sandwich with butter lettuce and creamy ranch. Mmmmmm.

This recipe has no egg dread, of course.

This is another great egg free recipe for all the allergic babes. My husband can never order any dish with breaded chicken at a restaurant because of the egg dread. For this recipe, we'll be using heavy cream in place of eggs to keep the breading together. I've heard of using soda but heavy cream works great!
