Sprinkle chicken with Parmesan to make a crunchy crust that puts a little twist on your usual chicken. This recipe was contributed by reader Lorraine Radke of Sacramento, California.

Directions

  1. In a food processor, pulse bread, Parmesan, parsley, and 1/4 teaspoon each salt and pepper until fine crumbs form. Transfer mixture to one shallow bowl; place egg in another.

  2. One at a time, dip each chicken cutlet into egg; let excess drip off, then dip into breadcrumb mixture. Press on crumbs firmly.

  3. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Cook cutlets, two at a time, adding remaining tablespoon oil for second batch, until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side.

  4. Wipe skillet clean. Add lemon juice and 1/4 cup water; cook over low until steaming, 1 minute. Add mustard. Remove pan from heat, and stir in butter until combined. Serve cutlets with sauce.
