Parmesan Crusted Chicken
A comforting, family-friendly dinner with a crisp, golden coating and tender chicken inside, perfect for busy evenings.
Ingredients
For the chicken
- 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 pieces eggs beaten
- Salt and pepper to taste
For the coating
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs plain or seasoned
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Olive oil for frying for searing the chicken
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a shallow dish, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and pepper.
- In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until fully combined.
Coating
- Dip each chicken breast into the eggs, allowing excess to drip off, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
Cooking
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook until golden brown on both sides, about 4-5 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish and finish cooking in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes, or until cooked through.
Serving
- Serve hot and enjoy your family-friendly dinner!
Notes
Store leftover chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator. Reheat it in the oven or skillet to maintain the crisp coating.
