Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup Italian-style dry bread crumbs
  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts
  • 5 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 14.5 ounce can chicken broth
  • 1 10 ounce can asparagus, drained
  • 4 slices provolone cheese

Method
 

  1. Whisk eggs in a shallow bowl. Place bread crumbs in another shallow bowl.
  2. Dip chicken breasts into beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
  3. Press chicken into bread crumbs, coating both sides evenly.
  4. Heat olive oil in a large, deep skillet over medium heat.
  5. Add breaded chicken and brown on both sides.
  6. Pour chicken broth into the skillet.
  7. Arrange asparagus on top of each chicken breast and place one slice of provolone cheese over the asparagus.
  8. Cover skillet and cook until chicken is fully cooked and cheese is melted, about 15 minutes.
  9. Chicken is done when internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  10. Serve hot directly from the skillet.

Notes

  • Fresh asparagus can be substituted (lightly steam first)
  • Mozzarella or Swiss cheese also work well
  • Best served immediately while cheese is melted
