Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (halved lengthwise)
- ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
- ½ cup breadcrumbs (panko or Italian-style)
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- ½ teaspoon paprika
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg
- 2 tablespoons milk
- ¼ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
Instructions
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness for even cooking.
- Create a breading station with flour in one bowl, a whisked egg and milk mixture in another, and a mixture of Parmesan, breadcrumbs, and spices in the final bowl.
- Dredge each piece of chicken in the flour, coating it well.
- Dip the floured chicken in the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off.
- Roll the chicken in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the coated chicken and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest for about a minute before serving.
- Serve with lemon wedges, salad, or pasta for a complete meal.
Notes
Use fresh ingredients for better flavor. Allow chicken to rest after cooking for enhanced juiciness.
