Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 optional Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
In a shallow bowl, mix together the gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and ground black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Take each chicken breast and dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated.
Transfer the egg-coated chicken breast to the breadcrumb mixture and press it down to coat both sides thoroughly with the mixture. Repeat with all chicken breasts.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is cooked through.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
