A quick and easy recipe for crispy, cheesy chicken breasts that are perfect for weeknight dinners or special gatherings.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 1/2 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp paprika
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • Olive oil or non-stick cooking spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Prepare a large baking sheet with parchment paper and lightly coat it with olive oil or non-stick spray.
  2. Set up your breading station using three shallow dishes: one for flour, one for beaten eggs, and one for combining Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Take your chicken breasts and pound them to an even thickness. Pat the chicken dry with paper towels.
  4. Dredge each chicken breast in flour, ensuring it’s fully coated. Next, dip the floured chicken in the beaten eggs, and finally coat it well in the Parmesan-Panko mixture.
  5. Place the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, ensuring there’s space between each piece. Lightly spray the tops with cooking spray.
  6. Bake for 18-22 minutes or until the chicken is crispy and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F. Let it rest before serving.

Notes

For extra crunch, you can mix in some crushed cornflakes with your Panko breadcrumbs. Allow the chicken to rest after baking to maintain moisture.
