Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts boneless and skinless
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup breadcrumbs Panko recommended for extra crunch
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese grated
- 1 teaspoon salt to taste
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 0.5 cup vegetable oil or olive oil for frying
- 1 medium lemon juiced
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped, for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
- Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness.
- In a shallow dish, combine the flour, salt, pepper, and garlic powder.
- Set up a breading station: one shallow bowl with beaten eggs, another with the flour mixture, and a final one with the combined breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, dip in the eggs, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until golden and crispy, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet and bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes until cooked through.
- Drizzle the chicken with lemon juice, and garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Notes
Serve the chicken hot with your favorite side of vegetables or salad for a complete meal.
