Instructions
Preheat oven grill (broiler) to high. Place the breadcrumbs, olive oil, parmesan, thyme, salt and pepper into a bowl and mix to combine.
Place the chicken between 2 sheets of non-stick baking paper and, using a rolling pin or meat mallet, pound the thick end of the chicken until it is 2cm thick (this helps it cook evenly).
Place the chicken on a greased baking tray and top generously with the crumb mixture, using your fingertips to press it onto the chicken. Drizzle with a little extra olive oil and grill for 6–8 minutes or until it is cooked through and the crumbs are golden.
With oven gloves on, remove the chicken from the oven. Serve with a simple salad and oven-baked fries, or in a bread roll with mayonnaise and lettuce.
