Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts
- 0.5 cups fresh parsley, chopped
- 0.5 cups grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 cups breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoons black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk
- 0.5 cups all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
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.
Step 2
In a shallow bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, chopped parsley, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
Step 3
In a second shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk.
Step 4
In a third shallow bowl, place the flour.
Step 5
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.
Step 6
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.
Step 7
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.
Step 8
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.
Step 9
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.
