Ingredients

• 4 units chicken breasts
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 large eggs
• 0.5 cup gluten-free all-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 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 lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, whisk together eggs and set aside.

Step 3

In a separate shallow dish, mix gluten-free breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

Place the gluten-free flour in a third shallow bowl. This will be used for dredging the chicken.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Dredge each chicken breast in the gluten-free flour, ensuring a light and even coating. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 7

Dip the floured chicken breasts into the beaten eggs, making sure they are well coated.

Step 8

Finally, press both sides of the chicken breasts firmly into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, ensuring they are fully coated.

Step 9

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Bake the chicken for 10-15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is crispy and golden.

Step 12

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

Step 13

Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as steamed vegetables or a fresh garden salad.
