Best chicken EVER. Okay, not really, but it's pretty good. I also like to do this with pork chops, but someone isn't a fan of them. I served them with potatoes and green beans to keep the meal healthy, but it would be delicious with pasta and a tomato based sauce. (In which case, I would take the time to pound the chicken flat and would cook it completely on the skillet. ) You could just bake the chicken in the oven completely, but I like using the skillet to give it a nice golden crust.

  1. Egg beaters = genius!!! I'll have to try this out soon. Do the chops and don't tell Richie it's pork. He'll never know the difference. My parents used to do that all the time and it worked (until I developed sensitivity to pork and started puking it up, the games ended there).
