Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 1 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Paprika
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 4 slices Swiss cheese
- 8 rings Frozen onion rings
- 0.5 cup All-purpose flour
- 2 large Eggs
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 0.25 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 as needed Cooking spray
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with cooking spray.
Step 2
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season them on both sides with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
Step 3
Set up a breading station: Place the flour in one shallow bowl, beat the eggs in a second bowl, and mix the panko breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese in a third bowl.
Step 4
Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, then dip into the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs gently onto the chicken to adhere.
Step 5
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Sear the chicken breasts for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
Step 6
Transfer the chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Step 7
About 5 minutes before the chicken is done, remove the baking sheet from the oven. Top each chicken breast with a slice of Swiss cheese and two onion rings. Return to the oven and cook until the cheese melts and the onion rings are crispy.
Step 8
Remove the chicken from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, such as mashed potatoes or a green salad.
