Ingredients
1 lb chicken breasts
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
Instructions
1. Pound or slice the chicken breasts to an even thickness and pat dry.
2. Prepare three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mix of parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
3. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, then dip into the eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb-parmesan mix.
4. Pan-fry in olive oil over medium heat until golden and cooked through, or bake at 400°F for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway.
5. Serve hot and crispy with your favorite sides.
Notes
Let the coated chicken rest for 5 minutes before cooking to help the breading stick better.
Use freshly grated parmesan for the best texture and flavor.
If baking, lightly spray the chicken with oil for a crispier finish.
