Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
- 2 cups Cherry tomatoes, halved
- 0.25 cup Fresh basil leaves, chopped
- 1.5 pounds Baby potatoes, halved
- 2 cloves Garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Toss the halved baby potatoes with olive oil, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Spread them evenly on one side of the prepared baking sheet.
Place the baking sheet with the potatoes into the oven and roast for 15 minutes while you prepare the chicken.
Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes. In the first dish, place the flour mixed with a pinch of salt and pepper. In the second dish, beat the eggs. In the third dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs.
Pat dry the chicken breasts with paper towels, season them with salt and pepper on both sides, then dredge each breast in the flour, dip it into the beaten eggs, and coat it thoroughly in the Parmesan-panko mixture. Press the coating firmly onto the chicken to ensure it sticks.
Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Sear the breaded chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown, then transfer them to the baking sheet with the roasted potatoes.
Return the baking sheet to the oven and bake everything for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the potatoes are tender.
While the chicken and potatoes bake, prepare the tomato and basil topping. In a bowl, combine halved cherry tomatoes, chopped basil, a drizzle of olive oil, and a pinch of salt and pepper. Toss gently to combine.
Once the chicken and potatoes are done, remove them from the oven. Top each chicken breast with a generous spoonful of the tomato and basil mixture.
Drizzle the melted butter over the roasted potatoes for extra flavor, and serve the Parmesan-crusted chicken alongside the potatoes. Enjoy your meal!
