Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts boneless and skinless
- 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese finely grated
- 0.5 cup breadcrumbs Italian seasoned
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter unsalted
- 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped for garnish
Instructions
Preparation Steps
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
- Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
- Season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dredge first in flour, then in the egg, and finally in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil and butter in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken until golden brown on both sides, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and finish cooking in the oven for 10-15 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Notes
You can substitute fresh herbs for dried ones if preferred, using a third of the quantity.
