¼ cup finely grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp dried oregano

Herbs and spices can carry nickel, so a low nickel diet limits them, but the small amount of oregano used to season this recipe is likely fine. If you prefer to always avoid oregano, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
½ tsp dried basil

Instructions

1
Preheat the oven to 400°F (205°C). Place each chicken breast between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet or rolling pin to an even 1/2-inch thickness.
2
Season the pounded chicken on both sides with 1/2 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Set up a breading station: beaten eggs in one shallow dish, and gluten free breadcrumbs mixed with 1/4 cup Parmesan, 1 tsp oregano, and 1/2 tsp dried basil in a second shallow dish.
