Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 1 tablespoon Fresh orange zest
• 2 tablespoons Fresh orange juice
• 1 cup Plain breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 as needed Olive oil spray
• 2 large Eggs
• 0.5 cup All-purpose flour

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil spray.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, orange zest, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.

Step 3

In a second shallow dish, beat the eggs and mix in the fresh orange juice until well combined.

Step 4

Place the all-purpose flour in a third shallow dish.

Step 5

Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel, then lightly season them with a pinch of salt and pepper.

Step 6

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip the chicken breast into the orange-egg mixture, making sure it's fully coated. Finally, coat the chicken breast in the orange breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the crumbs evenly.

Step 7

Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray to help them crisp up during baking.

Step 8

Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

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

Step 10

Serve as is, or pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh green salad for a complete meal.
