This is my version of a recipe from My Girlfriend’s Kitchen, a meal-assembly franchise that unfortunately went out of business in my area. It’s one of their famous "three-breasted chicken" entrees, although my version doesn’t call for the extra breast, since supermarket chickens generally don’t come with three. It’s intended to be frozen and then thawed and cooked, but of course you can skip the freezing step and cook it fresh.

1 1/2 cup bread crumbs (I like Panko)
1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese (the real stuff, not the green can)
1/3 cup ground almonds (use a food processor to grind sliced almonds)
2 tsp. garlic powder
1 1/2 tsp. paprika
3/4 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp. black pepper
1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper
1 cup pasteurized eggs (sold in cartons or containers in the supermarket dairy section)
1 tbsp. olive oil
One whole chicken, in pieces

Combine dry ingredients in one bowl and wet ingredients in another. Dip each piece of chicken into the egg mixture, then dip into the bread crumb mixture and coat thoroughly. Lay the pieces out on a baking sheet and freeze, then combine in a zipper bag and store in the freezer.
To cook, thaw completely. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Lay chicken on a baking sheet, preferably on top of a baking rack, and bake for 60 to 75 minutes. (I like to give the chicken a quick spritz of cooking oil spray before baking to make it even crisper.)

Thanks to JC in PA for sharing this chicken recipe.
