Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board. Cover them with plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, place the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined. In the third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it in the egg mixture, letting the excess drip off. Finally, coat it with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing the crumbs onto the chicken to ensure a good coating.
Heat the olive oil in a large oven-proof skillet over medium-high heat.
Add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side, or until the crust is golden brown.
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 10-12 minutes, or until fully cooked through and juices run clear. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
Serve the crumbed chicken hot, accompanied by your favorite side dishes like mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad.
