CHICKEN FLAMINGO

Steps:

• Bread the chicken by dipping fillets in flour first, then egg, then bread crumbs.
• Heat olive oil in saute pan over medium heat. You want chicken to sizzle slightly when you place it in the pan. If the oil is to hot you will burn the breading before the chicken is done.once the chicken is in the oil do not move it until it naturally stops sticking to the pan and is ready to turn. About 4 or 5 minutes. Moving the chicken to soon will interfear with the browning of the breadcrumbs. turn chicken and cook another few minutes or until done.
• Transfer chicken to a covered dish and sprinkle with cheese.
