INGREDIENTS 

1 cup breadcrumbs

1 tablespoon lemon rind

2 tablespoons parsley, chopped

1/2 cup plain flour

2 eggs

1 tablespoon milk

4 chicken breasts

Coleslaw packet mix

Coleslaw dressing OR: mix 1 tub light natural yoghurt with juice of 1 lemon and 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard

METHOD

• Preheat over to 220 degrees. Coat coleslaw vegetables with dressing and set aside to soften while preparing the chicken.
• Combine breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, lemon rind, parsley and garlic on a plate. Place flour on another plate. Whisk egg and milk together in a large shallow bowl.
• Using a rolling pin, pound each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap until thin.
• Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking to remove excess. Dip in egg mixture and then coat in breadcrumb mixture.
• Bake chicken in preheated over for 5-7 minutes, and then flip chicken over. Bake for another 5-7 minutes until lightly browned. Serve with your coleslaw. 
  
  TIP: If the chicken breasts are thick, you can slice them in half.
