Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup whole milk
- 1.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon paprika
- 0.25 cup olive oil
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch to ensure they cook evenly.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs and milk, and the last with breadcrumbs mixed with parmesan cheese, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off any excess.
Dip the floured chicken into the egg and milk mixture, letting any excess drip off.
Finally, coat the chicken thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to adhere the breadcrumbs.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until the crust is golden brown.
Transfer the browned chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
