Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.
  3. In one bowl, whisk the eggs. In another bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  4. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat generously with the breadcrumb mixture.
  5. Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Drizzle a little olive oil over the chicken.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
  8. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra crispy chicken, broil for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
