  • Total Time: 30 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

– Β½ cup all-purpose flour

– 2 eggs

– β…” cup seasoned Italian bread crumbs

– β…“ cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano cheese

– ΒΌ teaspoon salt

– ΒΌ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

– 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh herbs (such as thyme, parsley, chives, or rosemary)

– 3 to 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 1Β½ pounds) pounded to ΒΌ-inch thickness

– Salt and freshly ground black pepper for seasoning

– ΒΌ cup olive oil

– Lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

1-Follow this easy guide to make Parmesan crusted chicken that turns out golden and delicious every time. Start by preheating your oven to 400Β°F (200Β°C) and setting up your workstation with three shallow dishes. One dish holds the flour, another the beaten eggs, and the third mixes the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and herbs.

2-Next, pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels to help the coating stick. Lightly dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess to avoid clumps. Then, dip them into the beaten eggs, making sure they’re fully covered for a good bond with the crust.

3-Press each piece firmly into the breadcrumb mixture to coat all sides evenly. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and sear the chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer to a baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes until it reaches 165Β°F (74Β°C). Let it rest for 5 minutes before serving, and consider adding fresh herbs for extra flair.

Notes

🍞 The three-step breading process ensures a crispy crust and juicy interior.
❄️ Breaded chicken can be prepared a day ahead or frozen; reheat in oven to maintain crispiness, avoiding the microwave.
