Description
A flavorful Parmesan chicken recipe featuring crispy, cheesy goodness that’s perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 3-4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Olive oil
- Salt
- Pepper
- Fresh parsley (for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
- In a bowl, whisk the eggs until frothy.
- In another bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and half of the Parmesan cheese.
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture while pressing firmly to ensure adherence.
- Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the greased baking dish and drizzle lightly with olive oil.
- Bake for approximately 25-30 minutes or until the chicken turns golden brown and crispy. Add the remaining Parmesan during the last five minutes of baking.
- Let the chicken rest briefly before serving hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
For added flavor, experiment with different seasoning blends in the breadcrumbs. Let the chicken rest after baking to maximize tenderness.
