Ingredients

• 4 pieces chicken breast fillets
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon dried oregano
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons water
• 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and water until the mixture is well blended.

Step 4

Dip each chicken breast fillet into the egg mixture, ensuring it's completely coated.

Step 5

Transfer the chicken fillet into the breadcrumb mixture. Press down gently, turning to coat both sides with the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with all chicken fillets.

Step 6

Arrange the coated chicken fillets on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle each fillet lightly with olive oil or melted butter to encourage browning and crispiness.

Step 7

Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.

Step 8

Remove from the oven and let the chicken fillets rest for about 5 minutes before serving. This helps retain juiciness.

Step 9

Serve the gluten-free oven-baked chicken fillets warm with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
