Servings: 4

Ingredients

Olive oil (3 tablespoons)
Salt (1 teaspoon)
Black pepper (1/2 teaspoon)
Dried oregano (1 teaspoon)
Garlic powder (1 teaspoon)
Parmesan cheese (1 cup, grated)
Breadcrumbs (1 cup, plain or italian)
Eggs (2, beaten)
Chicken breasts (4 (boneless, skinless))

Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
In a shallow dish, beat the eggs and season with salt and pepper.
In another shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper until well combined.
Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it adheres well.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts.
Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side, or until they are golden brown.
Transfer the chicken breasts to a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C) and the crust is crispy.
Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your crispy Parmesan chicken hot, paired with your favorite sides!
