Method:

1. Place each chicken piece between two pieces of plastic wrap. Using the flat side of a meat mallet, pound lightly until 1/2 inch thick.

2. Remove plastic wrap. Sprinkle chicken with salt and black pepper.

3. In a shallow dish combine bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, and rosemary.

4. In another shallow dish combine whole egg and egg white; beat with a fork. Dip chicken in beaten egg, then in crumb mixture to coat.

5. In a large skillet heat olive oil over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 10 to 12 minutes or until chicken is no longer pink, turning once.
