Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Milk
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
• 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 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.

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin, about 1/2 inch thick. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

Prepare three separate bowls for dredging: add flour to the first bowl; beat the eggs and milk together in the second bowl; and mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, dried Italian seasoning, and garlic powder in the third bowl.

Step 4

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, ensuring an even coat. Shake off excess flour.

Step 5

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

Step 6

Finally, coat the chicken in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure a thick, even coating.

Step 7

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown. This step is to crisp the coating, not fully cook the chicken.

Step 8

Transfer the browned chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve Parmesan Plus Chicken hot with a side of pasta, steamed vegetables, or a fresh garden salad.
