Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Romano cheese, grated
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs, preferably panko
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 large Eggs
- 2 tablespoons Milk
- 1 as needed Olive oil or cooking spray
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional for garnish)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix the grated Parmesan, grated Romano, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk to create an egg wash.
Step 4
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, ensuring they are completely dry for better coating adherence.
Step 5
Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash, allowing any excess to drip off.
Step 6
Transfer the chicken to the cheese and breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly on both sides to coat the chicken evenly.
Step 7
Place the breaded chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring they are not overcrowded.
Step 8
Lightly drizzle a small amount of olive oil over the chicken or spray with cooking spray to help with crisping.
Step 9
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 10
Remove the chicken from the oven and allow it to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 11
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley if desired and serve immediately. Pair with your favorite side dishes for a complete meal.
