This delightful dish features crispy chicken breasts coated with Parmesan and breadcrumbs, baked to perfection for a juicy inside and crunchy outside.
Ingredients
Main ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 2 pieces eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- as needed Oil for frying
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Set up a breading station: In one bowl, beat the eggs; in another bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing it on to adhere.
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat and add the breaded chicken. Cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for about 15-20 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through.
Notes
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to keep the juices locked in. Use Panko breadcrumbs for extra crispiness.
