Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 pieces Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Prepare a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and the third with a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Lay the chicken breasts on a cutting board and, if necessary, pound them to an even thickness using a meat mallet.
Lightly coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, press it into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, covering both sides evenly.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Sear the breaded chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes on each side or until golden brown. This will help achieve a crispy coating.
Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve hot with a side of vegetables, pasta, or a fresh salad.
