Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 optional Lemon wedges
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix together the gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and ground black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
Step 4
Take each chicken breast and dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated.
Step 5
Transfer the egg-coated chicken breast to the breadcrumb mixture and press it down to coat both sides thoroughly with the mixture. Repeat with all chicken breasts.
Step 6
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 7
Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
Step 8
Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is cooked through.
Step 9
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Step 10
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
