Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Coating Mix

  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3/4 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Binder and Cooking

  • 2 large eggs, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter (for cooking)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. If breasts are thick, slice horizontally to create thinner, even pieces for uniform cooking.
  2. Make the Coating Mix: In a bowl, combine grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and pepper to form the dry crust mixture.
  3. Set Up the Dredging Station: Whisk eggs in a shallow dish. Dip each chicken breast first into the egg wash, allowing excess to drip off, then firmly press into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture ensuring all sides are coated thoroughly.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil or melted butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Place coated chicken breasts gently in the pan and cook 3-4 minutes per side until crust is golden and crispy. Alternatively, bake in a preheated oven at 400°F (200°C) for 15-18 minutes until fully cooked and crust is crunchy.
  5. Rest and Serve: Let the cooked chicken rest for 5 minutes on a wire rack or plate to lock in juices and maintain crust crispiness. Serve hot paired with your preferred sides.

Notes

  • Pat chicken completely dry to ensure a crisp crust.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for best flavor and texture.
  • Avoid overcrowding the pan; cook in batches for even browning.
  • Rest chicken after cooking to redistribute juices and keep crust crunchy.
  • When baking, place chicken on a wire rack over a baking sheet to allow air circulation and crispiness.
