Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 Chicken Breasts boneless, skinless, pounded thin
  • 1 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
  • 0.5 cup Breadcrumbs Panko recommended
  • 0.5 cup All-purpose Flour
  • 2 Eggs large, beaten
  • 1 tsp Garlic Powder
  • 1 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 0.5 tsp Salt
  • 0.25 tsp Black Pepper
  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil or vegetable oil, for frying

Equipment

  • Shallow Dishes
  • Large Skillet
  • Tongs or Spatula
  • Meat Thermometer (optional)

Method
 

Main
  1. Set up three shallow dishes: one with flour, salt, and pepper; another with beaten eggs; and a third with grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning mixed together.
  2. Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour mixture, then dip into the egg, and finally press firmly into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture to ensure it's fully coated.
  3. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook for 4-6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature reaches 165°F/74°C).
  4. Remove from skillet and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra crispiness, ensure the chicken is patted very dry before coating.
