Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- as needed olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and lightly spray with olive oil.
Place the flour in a shallow dish. In a second shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In a third shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Working with one piece at a time, dredge the chicken in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.
Finally, press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides and pressing gently to adhere the crumbs.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil to help them brown in the oven.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Pair with your favorite side dishes and enjoy!
