Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 1 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 large eggs
- Olive oil or cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line or grease a baking sheet.
- Prepare the chicken: Slice the chicken breasts horizontally or pound them to ensure even thickness.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs together until they’re well combined.
- In another bowl, mix the grated Parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
- Coat the chicken: Dip each chicken piece into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then gently press into the Parmesan mixture until coated.
- Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil or cooking spray.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown, and its internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to lock in the juices and flavor.
Notes
Use fresh Parmesan for best flavor and ensure even cooking by slicing the chicken into uniform thickness.
