Ingredients Method

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 1.5–2 lb total
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tsp garlic powder or 3 cloves minced garlic
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp salt 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tbsp olive oil or melted butter
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • Optional: chopped parsley for garnish

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking oil.
  2. Pound chicken to even thickness (about 1/2 inch) for quick, even cooking. Season lightly with salt and pepper.
  3. Mix panko, Parmesan, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, and olive oil in a shallow bowl until moistened.
  4. Dip each breast in beaten egg, then press into the breadcrumb mix to coat both sides.
  5. Place on prepared sheet and bake 18–22 minutes, until internal temperature reaches 165°F and crust is golden.
  6. Let rest 5 minutes before slicing; garnish with parsley if desired.
