Ingredients
Scale
Main Protein:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Cheese and Coating:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) breadcrumbs (panko or regular)
Seasoning and Binding:
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 2 large eggs
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Prepare a baking sheet or skillet at 400°F (200°C), lightly coated with olive oil over medium heat.
- Create a savory coating by combining Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, parsley, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
- Whisk eggs in a separate bowl until well blended.
- Immerse each chicken breast into the egg wash, ensuring complete coverage.
- Roll the egg-coated chicken in the seasoned breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help the coating adhere completely.
- For oven method, arrange chicken on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 20-25 minutes, turning once midway to ensure even browning.
- For stovetop preparation, sear chicken in the hot skillet for 5-7 minutes per side until exterior turns golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Allow chicken to rest for 3-5 minutes after cooking to retain moisture and distribute juices evenly.
- Present the crispy, aromatic chicken immediately with complementary side dishes.
Notes
- Swap breadcrumbs with almond flour or crushed pork rinds for a low-carb, gluten-free version that’s keto-friendly and adds extra crunch.
- Use thin-sliced chicken breasts to ensure even cooking and reduce total cooking time, preventing dry meat and maintaining juiciness.
- Pat chicken breasts completely dry before coating to help the breading adhere better and create a crispier exterior that locks in moisture.
- Check internal chicken temperature reaches 165°F using a meat thermometer for food safety, ensuring perfectly cooked chicken without overcooking.
