Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 0.5 cups All-purpose flour
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 0.75 cups Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cups Grated Romano cheese
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoons Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped parsley (optional for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.

Step 2

Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness, about 1 inch thick.

Step 3

In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, and black pepper.

Step 4

In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until smooth.

Step 5

In a third bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese, Panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and paprika.

Step 6

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, making sure to coat all sides evenly. Shake off any excess flour.

Step 7

Dip the floured chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing any excess egg to drip off.

Step 8

Press the chicken firmly into the cheese and breadcrumb mixture until well coated. Repeat with all chicken breasts.

Step 9

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. This step is optional but will create a crispier crust.

Step 10

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

Step 11

Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden and crispy.

Step 12

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 13

Optional: Sprinkle with chopped parsley for a fresh garnish.
