Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
In a shallow dish, mix the flour, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
In a third shallow dish, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, and garlic powder.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
Press the chicken breast into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, making sure it sticks to the eggs and fully covers the chicken on both sides.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Add chicken breasts to the skillet and cook until golden brown on each side, about 3 minutes per side.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 10-12 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the skillet from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the Parmesan crusted chicken with your choice of sides such as pasta, salad, or roasted vegetables.
