Time 25m

Yield 6 Mediterranean Chicken Breasts, 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 cup pecorino romano cheese, grated
1/4 cup dry breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon dried basil
1/4 teaspoon dried garlic
1/4 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon sea salt or 1/4 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper or 1/4 teaspoon fresh ground black pepper, to taste
3 tablespoons olive oil
6 large boneless skinless chicken breast halves (about 2lb/1kg)

Steps:

  • Mix together the first seven ingredients (from the cheese through to the black pepper) on a piece of waxed paper - saves on washing up later! - or if you prefer on a plate; put the oil in a shallow dish.
  • Dip the chicken breast halves in the oil, then coat them evenly with the cheese/breadcrumb mixture.
  • Spray a non-stick skillet with cooking spray and set over a medium heat; add the chicken and cook, turning once, for 15 minutes, or until golden brown and the juices run clear.
