Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
Prepare three shallow bowls or plates for breading. In the first bowl, combine all-purpose flour with salt and black pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs until well mixed. In the third bowl, mix the Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, chopped fresh rosemary, and garlic powder.
Pound each chicken breast to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin, about 1/2 inch thick.
Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, ensuring it is fully coated. Shake off the excess.
Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, letting any excess drip off.
Press the chicken firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides evenly with the rosemary and Parmesan crust.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat and add olive oil. Cook the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches.
Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 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 the Rosemary Parmesan Crusted Chicken with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes, and enjoy!
