Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg, beaten
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten egg, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  4. Press the egg-coated chicken into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides evenly.
  5. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Sear the chicken for 1-2 minutes per side until lightly golden.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  8. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  9. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, you can add a tablespoon of melted butter to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Feel free to add other herbs like parsley or basil to the Parmesan coating.
