Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 tablespoons garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 3 tablespoons milk
• 2 cups panko breadcrumbs
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 4 cloves fresh garlic, minced
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional)
• 4 pieces lemon wedges (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly. Pat them dry with paper towels.

Step 3

In a shallow dish, mix the all-purpose flour, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well combined.

Step 5

In a third shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and minced fresh garlic.

Step 6

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated and shaking off any excess.

Step 7

Dip the floured chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 8

Coat the chicken generously in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.

Step 9

In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts in batches (if necessary) and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden and crispy. Do not fully cook the chicken at this stage.

Step 10

Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet and place them in the preheated oven.

Step 11

Bake for 20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 12

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges for an added burst of flavor, if desired.
