Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 0.75 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups Grated Romano cheese
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness, about 1 inch thick.
In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper.
In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.
In a third bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and paprika.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly. Shake off any excess flour.
Dip the floured chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
Press the chicken firmly into the cheese and breadcrumb mixture until well coated. Repeat with all chicken breasts.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. This step is optional but will create a crispier crust.
Transfer the chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet and place them in the oven.
Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Optional: Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh garnish.
