3) In two separate bowls add eggs in one and whisk together. In the other mixing bowl add panko breadcrumbs and parmesan cheese.
4) Place the pounded chicken first in the seasoned flour, then the eggs, and last the bread crumb and cheese mixture. Set prepped chicken aside.
ROASTED SWEET POTATOES
1) Pre-heat oven to 350.
2) In a large mixing bowl add the cut sweet potatoes, garlic, grapeseed oil, salt, and pepper.
