Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 1 tablespoon Fresh orange zest
- 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
- 1 cup Plain breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated)
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 as needed Olive oil spray
- 2 large Eggs
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.
In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, orange zest, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs and mix in the fresh orange juice until well combined.
Place the all-purpose flour in a third shallow dish.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then lightly season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip the chicken breast into the orange-egg mixture, making sure it's fully coated. Finally, coat the chicken breast in the orange breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs evenly.
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving for the juiciest results.
Serve as is, or pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
