Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 1/2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- Olive oil or non-stick cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly spray it with oil to prevent sticking.
- Prepare three shallow dishes: one with all-purpose flour, another with beaten eggs, and the last with a mixture of Panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off the excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess egg to drip off.
- Coat the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down firmly to ensure it sticks well.
- Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray the tops with oil.
- Bake for 18-22 minutes, until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the crust is crispy.
- Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving to keep it juicy.
Notes
To store leftovers, refrigerate in an airtight container for up to three days. For longer storage, freeze the breaded chicken before baking.
