Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Coating Mixture

  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Egg Mixture

  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/4 cup milk

Cooking

  • Olive oil for cooking

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for even cooking and to achieve a crispy golden exterior while keeping the chicken juicy inside.
  2. Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian-style breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
  3. Prepare the Egg Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the beaten eggs and milk. This mixture helps the coating adhere to the chicken and adds a creamy texture.
  4. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, letting any excess drip off, then press it into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, making sure each piece is evenly coated for maximum flavor and texture.
  5. Sear the Chicken: Heat a generous amount of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Sear each chicken breast for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown to lock in juices and create a crispy crust.
  6. Bake: Place the seared chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C), ensuring the chicken is fully cooked and juicy.

Notes

  • Use fresh grated Parmesan cheese instead of pre-packaged powdered cheese for enhanced flavor and better melting.
  • Do not overcrowd the skillet when searing; cook in batches if necessary to allow proper browning.
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to allow juices to redistribute for a tender bite.
  • Customize the breadcrumb mixture with additional herbs like thyme or oregano, a pinch of cayenne for heat, or lemon zest for freshness.
  • Coat the chicken in advance and refrigerate for up to 24 hours to allow flavors to meld and reduce prep time on busy days.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days or freeze up to 3 months.
  • Reheat leftovers in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness.
