Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons curry powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoons ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 tablespoon olive oil (or cooking spray)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, curry powder, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and ground black pepper. Mix well to create the breading mixture.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs to create an egg wash.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash, coating it fully, then dredge it in the breading mixture. Press the mixture onto the chicken to ensure an even coating on all sides.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly apart.
Lightly drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts or spray them with cooking spray to help the coating crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the breading is golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your favorite side dish, such as roasted vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
