Ingredients
Chicken and Coating
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season with salt and pepper.
- In a bowl, combine Parmesan, panko, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. In another bowl, beat the eggs. Place flour in a third dish.
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess, then dip into eggs, and coat with the Parmesan mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven. Bake for 30-35 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is crispy.
Serving
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. Serve with your favorite sides like mashed potatoes or roasted vegetables.
Storage
- Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
