Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin, about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.
Prepare three separate bowls for dredging: add flour to the first bowl; beat the eggs and milk together in the second bowl; and mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in the third bowl.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, ensuring an even coat. Shake off excess flour.
Dip each floured chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure a thick, even coating.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. This step is to crisp the coating, not fully cook the chicken.
Transfer the browned chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve Parmesan Plus Chicken hot with a side of pasta, steamed vegetables, or a fresh garden salad.
