  • Plastic wrap
  • Shallow dishes
  • whisk

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts Provides the main protein for the dish.
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese Adds a rich, cheesy flavor and crispy texture.
  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs Provides the crunchy coating.
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder Enhances flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder Adds depth to the flavor.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning Brings a blend of herbs to the dish.
  • to taste Salt Enhances overall flavor.
  • to taste Pepper Adds a bit of spice.
  • 2 large Eggs Used for binding the breadcrumbs.
  • 1/4 cup Milk Adds moisture to the egg mixture.
  • 1/4 cup All-purpose flour Used for dredging the chicken.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil For cooking the chicken.
  • to taste Fresh parsley, chopped For garnish.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Place each chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
  • In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  • In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.
  • Place the flour in a separate shallow dish.
  • Take each chicken breast and first coat it in flour, shaking off any excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  • In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat.
  • Once the oil is hot, add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  • Once browned, transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  • Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
