Instructions

1. Preheat oven to 350F (325F for convection)

2. Assemble ingredients for breading: Flour in a shallow bowl; beaten egg and water in second dish; and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan or Romano cheese, salt, pepper, garlic powder, and minced garlic in a third dish.

3. Bread each chicken breast in the flour, then in the egg mixture, and then in the bread crumbs mixture.

4. Fry in hot oil on both sides until the crust is golden brown.

Note: If the oil isn’t hot enough the crust may stick to the pan.

5. Bake about 30 minutes or until juices run clear; the time will depend on thickness of chicken.

6. Remove from oven and set oven temperature to broil.

7. Top each piece of chicken with mozzarella or swiss cheese and bacon, then place under broiler to melt cheese.
