Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions
 

Preparation

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper.
  • In another bowl, beat the eggs and stir in the olive oil.
  • Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then coat it in the breadcrumb mix. Make sure each piece is fully covered.
  • Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.

Cooking

  • Bake in the oven for about 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden brown.
  • Let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Serve with a side of vegetables, pasta, or a fresh salad. Drizzle with lemon juice for added flavor. Store leftovers in an airtight container for up to 3 days, or freeze for longer storage. For a crispy coating, broil for the last couple of minutes.
