Ingredients

  • 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 1.5 cups breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 2 tablespoons parsley
  • 0.25 cup olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Place the chicken breast fillets between two sheets of plastic wrap and use a meat mallet to pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, place the flour. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. In a third shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, paprika, and chopped parsley.

Step 4

Dredge a chicken fillet in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip back into the dish. Then press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is fully coated on all sides. Repeat with the remaining fillets.

Step 5

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the crumbed chicken fillets and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown and crispy.

Step 6

Transfer the browned chicken fillets to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 9

Serve the crumbed chicken with your choice of sides such as mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a fresh salad.
