Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.75 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil, and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour and a pinch of salt and pepper. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Drizzle the olive oil over the breadcrumb mixture and toss until evenly coated.
Season the chicken breasts with the salt and pepper on both sides.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even and thick coating.
Place the breaded chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown, crispy, and has an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your Parmesan Breadcrumb Baked Chicken with a side of vegetables, salad, or rice!
