Description
A delightful dish with golden, crispy chicken breasts enveloped in a rich layer of Parmesan cheese, perfect for dinner parties or quick weeknight meals.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 eggs
- 1/4 cup flour
- Olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Set up a dredging station: Place the flour in one shallow bowl, beaten eggs in another, and mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
- Dredge each chicken breast: Coat first in flour, dip in egg mixture, and finally roll in the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and brown each side of the chicken breasts for about 2-3 minutes.
- Transfer the browned chicken to a baking dish and bake for 20-25 minutes until cooked through.
- Serve hot and enjoy your meal!
Notes
Ensure chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking. Consider panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch, and allow the breaded chicken to rest before cooking.
