Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
- 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
Pound the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Place the flour in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and milk together until well combined.
In a third shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, and garlic powder.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.
Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove chicken from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired and serve with your favorite sides.
