Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- Cooking spray
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray.
- In a shallow bowl, whisk together the eggs and olive oil.
- In another bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing excess to drip off, then coat thoroughly with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture.
- Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Optionally, broil for an additional 2 minutes to enhance crispiness but watch closely to prevent burning.
- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For added flavor, serve with a side of marinara sauce or a fresh green salad. You can also swap Italian breadcrumbs for panko for an extra crunchy texture.
