Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons water
- 1.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried basil
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray with cooking spray.
Cut the chicken breasts into 1-inch pieces, ensuring all pieces are roughly the same size for even cooking.
In a shallow dish, combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs with water until well combined.
In a third shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried oregano, and dried basil.
Dip each piece of chicken first into the flour mixture, shaking off the excess, then into the egg mixture, and finally into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the breadcrumbs.
Place coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the olive oil over the pieces or spray them lightly with cooking spray for extra crispness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through, reaching an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from oven and let cool for a few minutes before serving. Serve warm with your choice of dipping sauces.
