Ingredients
- 1 piece Boneless, skinless chicken breast
- 0.25 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 2 tablespoons All-purpose flour
- 1 large Egg
- 0.25 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons Grated parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Place the chicken breast between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to gently pound the chicken until it is an even thickness, approximately 1/2 inch thick.
Step 2
Season both sides of the chicken breast with salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 3
Prepare a three-step breading station: Place the flour on a shallow plate, whisk the egg in a shallow bowl, and combine the panko breadcrumbs with the grated parmesan cheese on another shallow plate.
Step 4
Dredge the chicken breast in the flour, ensuring it is lightly coated on both sides. Shake off any excess flour.
Step 5
Dip the floured chicken into the beaten egg, ensuring it is fully coated, then allow any excess egg to drip back into the bowl.
Step 6
Press the chicken into the breadcrumb and parmesan mixture, coating both sides evenly. Press gently to ensure the mixture adheres well to the chicken.
Step 7
Heat the olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium heat.
Step 8
Once the oil is hot, carefully place the breaded chicken breast into the skillet. Cook for 5-6 minutes on the first side until golden brown and crispy.
Step 9
Flip the chicken and cook for an additional 5-6 minutes on the second side until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reads 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Remove the chicken from the skillet and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain any excess oil.
Step 11
Serve immediately with your choice of side dish or salad. Enjoy!
