Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh herbs (such as parsley, thyme, or basil)
- 2 eggs
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Prepare the breadcrumb mixture: In a bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, chopped herbs, salt, and pepper.
- Beat the eggs: In another bowl, whisk the eggs until smooth.
- Coat the chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, letting the excess drip off. Then, coat it with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently to help it stick.
- Arrange for baking: Place the coated chicken on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil for extra crispiness.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
- Serve hot and enjoy your delicious creation!
Notes
For a twist, consider using panko breadcrumbs for extra crunch. Let the coated chicken sit for a few minutes before baking for better adherence.
