Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • ¾ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme mix)
  • 2 large eggs
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter, for frying

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Grate the Parmesan cheese finely. Whisk the eggs in a shallow bowl. In another dish, combine panko bread crumbs, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess. Dip the chicken into the beaten eggs to moisten it, then firmly press it into the Parmesan and bread crumb mixture. Make sure the chicken is evenly coated on all sides.
  3. Fry the Chicken: Heat olive oil or butter over medium heat in a skillet. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes per side until golden brown and cooked through. Avoid moving the chicken too much to keep the crust intact and crispy. Internal temperature should reach 165°F.
  4. Rest and Serve: Transfer the chicken to a paper towel-lined plate to drain excess oil. Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing to allow the juices to redistribute. Serve garnished with fresh parsley or lemon juice if desired.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for better texture and richer flavor.
  • Press the breading firmly onto the chicken to help it adhere during cooking.
  • Maintain medium heat to achieve a crispy crust without burning.
  • Check internal temperature with a meat thermometer to ensure 165°F for safe consumption.
  • Allow the chicken to rest after cooking to keep it juicy and tender.
