Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil. Lightly coat the surface with cooking spray.
Place the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper in a medium bowl. Mix thoroughly to combine.
In a separate shallow dish, add the all-purpose flour.
Crack the eggs into another shallow dish and beat them lightly with a fork or whisk.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture.
One at a time, coat each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is well coated.
Gently press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, covering all sides evenly. Press lightly to help the breadcrumbs adhere.
Arrange the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet with a little space between each piece.
Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the tops of the chicken breasts to help them become golden and crisp while baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) on an instant-read thermometer. The breadcrumbs should be golden and crisp.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the oven-crisp chicken breasts with your choice of sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a fresh green salad.
