parmesan crusted chicken
This parmesan crusted chicken is crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside, and packed with flavor. With a golden parmesan-breadcrumb coating, it’s an easy and delicious meal perfect for any occasion.
Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 large eggs
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Prep the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to help the coating stick better. Season both sides with a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Prepare the coating: In one shallow bowl, whisk the eggs until well-beaten. In another shallow dish, combine the parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and onion powder. Stir until evenly mixed.
- Coat the chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated. Then press the chicken into the breadcrumb and parmesan mixture, making sure it sticks well to both sides.
- Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until the crust is golden brown and crispy, and the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
- Rest and serve: Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes to retain its juices. Serve immediately with your favorite sides.
