Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish lightly with olive oil.
- In a shallow bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs.
- Dip each chicken breast first into the beaten eggs, then coat thoroughly with the Parmesan-bread crumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Place the coated chicken breasts in the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking dish. Drizzle with melted butter.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is cooked through.
- Garnish with fresh parsley if desired and serve warm.
Notes
For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for the last 2 minutes of baking. Serve with a side of steamed vegetables or over pasta for a complete meal.
