  • Total Time: 27 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings

Ingredients

Chicken

  • 2 lbs chicken breast

Breading Mixture

  • 1/2 cup flour
  • 1 tsp garlic parsley salt
  • 1 tsp ground black pepper
  • 1 cup Italian bread crumbs
  • 1 cup Parmesan cheese (freshly grated)

Egg Wash

  • 2 large eggs

Others

  • 1 tbsp avocado or olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Butterfly each chicken breast and then use a meat tenderizer to pound them until they have an even thickness, ensuring uniform cooking and tenderness.
  2. Mix Flour Mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the flour, garlic parsley salt, and ground black pepper to create a seasoned flour coating.
  3. Whisk Eggs: In a separate shallow dish, whisk the eggs until fully blended; this acts as the binding agent for the breading.
  4. Combine Breadcrumb Mixture: In a third shallow dish, mix together the Italian bread crumbs and freshly grated Parmesan cheese to form the flavorful crust.
  5. Bread the Chicken: Coat each chicken piece by first dipping into the seasoned flour mixture, then into the whisked eggs, and finally into the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating well.
  6. Preheat Oven: Set your oven to 450°F or arrange it to a low broil setting. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easy clean-up.
  7. Bake the Chicken: Arrange the breaded chicken pieces on the baking sheet in a single layer. Spray the tops lightly with avocado or olive oil spray for optimal crispiness. Broil or bake at 450°F for 15 to 17 minutes, flipping the chicken pieces halfway through to achieve even browning on both sides. Serve hot and enjoy your crispy Parmesan Crusted Chicken!

Notes

  • Pounding the chicken breasts ensures even thickness and helps them cook uniformly.
  • Using freshly grated Parmesan cheese provides better flavor and texture than pre-grated varieties.
  • Spraying the chicken with oil before baking aids in achieving a crispy crust without deep frying.
  • Flipping halfway through baking helps both sides get golden and crispy.
  • To make this dish gluten-free, substitute the flour and bread crumbs with gluten-free alternatives.
