A simple and flavorful recipe for crispy, tender chicken breasts coated in Parmesan cheese, perfect for a weeknight dinner.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg, beaten
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Cut each chicken breast in half horizontally to create thinner cutlets.
- In a shallow dish, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each chicken cutlet into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated.
- Press the egg-coated chicken into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides evenly.
- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear the chicken cutlets for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
- Bake for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Let rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can toast the breadcrumbs lightly before mixing them with the Parmesan.
- Serve with your favorite side dishes like pasta, salad, or roasted vegetables.
- This recipe can also be adapted for an air fryer. Cook at 375°F (190°C) for 10-12 minutes, flipping halfway through.
