Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 2 cups French-fried onions
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
- 1 unit Cooking oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil for easy cleanup.
In a zip-top bag, crush the French-fried onions into small crumbs using a rolling pin, then transfer them to a wide shallow bowl.
In a separate shallow bowl, mix the flour with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In a third bowl, beat the eggs until well blended.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. If they are thick, optionally pound them to an even thickness for consistent cooking.
Coat each chicken breast in the seasoned flour mixture, ensuring to cover all sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
Finally, press the chicken into the crushed French-fried onions, pressing gently so the crumbs adhere evenly to all sides.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each piece.
Lightly spray the tops of the chicken with cooking oil spray to help the crust become golden and crispy during baking.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with a side of your choice, such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
