Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 tablespoon Water
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese
- 0.25 cup Olive oil
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Step 2
Pound each chicken breast to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
Step 3
Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder.
Step 4
Prepare the breading station: Place flour in a shallow dish. In a separate dish, whisk together the eggs and water. In a third dish, mix the breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Step 5
Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s well coated. Finally, press it into the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, covering all sides.
Step 6
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.
Step 7
Transfer the browned chicken to the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Step 8
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Step 9
Serve warm with your favorite sides such as a fresh green salad, pasta, or roasted vegetables.
