Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 pieces Boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded to ¾ inch thickness)
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • ½ tsp Black pepper
  • ½ cup All-purpose flour (or almond flour for GF)
  • ½ cup Mayonnaise (or 2 beaten eggs)
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp Garlic powder
  • ½ tsp Paprika
  • 2 tbsp Olive oil or melted butter
  • Optional — Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
  • Optional — Lemon zest
  • Optional — Red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of ¾ inch for uniform cooking.
  2. Season the chicken generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Set up three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for mayonnaise (or beaten eggs), and one for the Parmesan-Panko mixture.
  4. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off any excess.
  5. Dip the floured chicken into the mayonnaise, ensuring it’s well-coated.
  6. Press the coated chicken into the Parmesan-Panko mixture until completely covered.
  7. Rest the breaded chicken on a tray for about 10 minutes.
  8. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place the chicken on a greased baking sheet, drizzling with olive oil.
  9. Bake for 20–25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  10. Rest the chicken for 2 minutes before serving, garnishing with parsley, lemon zest, or red pepper flakes if desired.

Notes

For gluten-free, use almond flour and gluten-free panko. Pair with sides like garlic mashed potatoes or steamed broccoli for an elevated meal.
