Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper and lightly grease it with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
In a third shallow bowl, place the flour.
Take each chicken breast and dredge it first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip it into the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the parsley-Parmesan breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to ensure the coating adheres well to the chicken.
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly. If desired, drizzle a bit of olive oil over the tops for extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C) and the coating is golden brown.
If preparing for freezer storage (OAMC - Once A Month Cooking), allow the chicken to cool completely after baking. Wrap each piece individually in plastic wrap or foil, and then place them into a freezer-safe bag or container. Label with the date and dish name.
To reheat from frozen, preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C), place the chicken on a baking sheet, and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until warmed through and crispy.
