Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup Plain breadcrumbs (low sodium)
- 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Dried basil
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 large Eggs
- 0 Olive oil spray
- 1 Fresh lemon wedges
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch to ensure even cooking.
Step 3
In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, oregano, basil, and paprika.
Step 4
In a separate shallow dish, beat the eggs until well combined.
Step 5
Dip each chicken breast first in the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, and then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
Step 6
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray to help them crisp up.
Step 7
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a couple of minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve the chicken with fresh lemon wedges on the side for squeezing over just before eating, which will enhance the flavors without adding sodium.
