Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1.5 cups gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
• 2 pieces large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 0.5 cup gluten-free flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon paprika
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a baking mat.

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet, rolling pin, or small saucepan.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to combine.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully combined.

Step 5

Place the gluten-free flour in another shallow dish.

Step 6

Dredge each chicken breast first in the gluten-free flour, ensuring it's completely coated, and shake off excess.

Step 7

Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip back into the bowl.

Step 8

Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the breadcrumbs evenly.

Step 9

Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.

Step 10

Sprinkle the mozzarella cheese evenly over the chicken pieces.

Step 11

Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.

Step 12

Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your gluten-free crispy breaded chicken with cheese!
