Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Romano cheese, grated
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs, preferably panko
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 as needed Olive oil or cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, mix the grated Parmesan, grated Romano, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, ensuring they are completely dry for better coating adherence.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off.
Transfer the chicken to the cheese and breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly on both sides to coat the chicken evenly.
Place the breaded chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Lightly drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the chicken or spray with cooking spray to help with crisping.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
