Garlic Parmesan Crusted Chicken Recipe

 

Here’s a simple and tasty recipe for Garlic Parmesan Crusted Chicken:

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1/2 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (for cooking)
• Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven: Set your oven to 400°F (200°C) to preheat.

2. Prepare the coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.

3. Coat the chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully coated. Then, dip it into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to make sure it sticks.

4. Cook the chicken: In a large oven-safe skillet, heat the olive oil over medium-high heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.

5. Finish in the oven: Transfer the skillet with the chicken into the preheated oven. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

6. Garnish and serve: Once the chicken is cooked through, remove from the oven and sprinkle with fresh parsley. Serve hot!

Enjoy your crispy, garlicky chicken!
