Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Place the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in a shallow bowl. Mix well to combine.
In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until fully combined.
Place the all-purpose flour in a third shallow bowl.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off, then press it firmly into the Parmesan and breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides evenly.
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C) and the crust is golden brown.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve warm with your choice of side dishes such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad.
