Yield: 6
Materials
- - 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- - 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- - 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably Panko for extra crunch
- - 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- - 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
- - 1/2 teaspoon salt
- - 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- - 2 eggs
- - 1/4 cup milk
- - 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
- - Fresh parsley chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
- **Preheat the Oven**: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°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 pepper.
- **Prepare the Wet Mixture**: In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
- **Coat the Chicken**: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, covering all sides and pressing lightly to adhere.
- **Bake the Chicken**: Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with olive oil or melted butter to help with browning. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
- **Garnish and Serve**: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
