"Blackened" Chicken Cutlets and Green Beans

now, i only say "blackened" because i fry the chicken just enough so the outside is a little burned because i like it that way and i can get a little hypochondriac-y when it comes to cooking chicken.

SO:

*chicken cutlets thinly sliced
*1 egg beaten....not slapped
*bread crumbs
*olive oil
*green beans

(this is by the seat of my pants so there's no right way to do it, really).

-pour some olive oil in an unheated pan along with any seasoning you may want
-get yer chicken cutlets, thinly sliced, and brush the egg on each side
-rub both sides of each egged cutlet on the plate of bread crumbs (also, i always forget but you can also put flour on the cutlets before you egg'em and then with the crumbs. that gives the cutlets a thicker fry and the crumbs stick even better).
-place in the pan and cook------bada bing!

string beans:

-put some water in a different, covered, pan and steam the beans for a few minutes till they're a vibrant green and still retain a crunch.
-put whatever you want on them, i used a little butter and some sea salt

*also, just for the uninformed, it's important to wash your hands and anything that touched the raw chicken because salmonella is a bitch......i've heard. and hopefully will never find out. what i do sometimes is wash the pans and brush and such and throw the sponge out and use a new one for other things.

**for those of you not living under a rock, the previous note need not be read. :)
