Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 2 tablespoons dried dill
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 0.25 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 2 large eggs
- 0.5 cup non-dairy milk
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with oil.
In a shallow dish, combine the panko breadcrumbs, dried dill, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and non-dairy milk until well combined.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Drizzle them with lemon juice and a tablespoon of olive oil, then set aside.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Place the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the chicken to ensure an even crust.
Arrange the coated chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil evenly over the top of the chicken breasts.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy hot with your choice of sides.
