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!
Tips
- For added flavor, marinate the chicken breasts in lemon juice and garlic for 30 minutes before breading.
- Try adding some chopped fresh herbs like parsley or basil to the breadcrumb mixture for an extra burst of flavor.
- Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping or drizzle with a balsamic glaze for a gourmet touch.
