  • Blitz breadcrumbs, parmesan, lemon zest, and remaining thyme in a food processor.
  • Butterfly the chicken breasts to double their size and halve their thickness.
  • Dust the seasoned chicken breasts in flour.
  • Dip the chicken into the beaten egg and then the breadcrumb mixture to coat thoroughly.

  • Serve chicken with roasted tomatoes, watercress, and lemon wedges.
