Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Ingredients:

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 tablespoons olive oil

 

Instructions:

Preheat the Oven:

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.

Prepare the Breading:

In a shallow dish, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.

In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk.

Place the flour in a third shallow dish.

Bread the Chicken:

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated.

Press the chicken into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides well.

Cook the Chicken:

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.

Add the chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Transfer the chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.

Bake:

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center.

Serve:

Serve hot with your favorite sides.
