Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, finely chopped
• 1 cup Parmesan cheese, finely grated
• 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper, freshly ground
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, combine the Panko breadcrumbs, parsley, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

Set up a breading station with three shallow bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with the breadcrumb mixture.

Step 4

Pound the chicken breasts to even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin. This ensures even cooking.

Step 5

Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Then dip it into the beaten eggs and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.

Step 6

Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown (they will finish cooking in the oven).

Step 7

Transfer the seared chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 18-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Step 8

Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of brightness.
