Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon Italian seasoning

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

2 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/4 cup olive oil or melted butter

Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Preheat Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure your chicken comes out perfectly cooked and golden brown.

    Prepare Breading Station: Set up three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour. In the second bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. In the third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

      Coat the Chicken: Take each chicken breast and first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, ensuring it’s fully coated. Finally, press the chicken into the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, making sure it’s well-covered.

        Heat Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or melted butter over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the coated chicken breasts, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side until they become golden brown. You may need to do this in batches if your skillet can’t fit all the chicken at once.

          Bake the Chicken: Once all the chicken is browned, transfer them to a baking dish. Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C).

            Garnish and Serve: After removing the chicken from the oven, let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges on the side for a burst of freshness.

              Enjoy: Pair your Parmesan Crusted Chicken Delight with your favorite sides, such as garlic mashed potatoes, steamed vegetables, or a crisp salad. Enjoy a restaurant-style meal right at home!
