Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Crust Mixture

  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Egg Wash

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

Cooking

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter
  • Salt and pepper, to season chicken

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Begin by slightly flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Pat them dry with paper towels, then season both sides generously with salt and pepper. This enhances flavor and helps lock in moisture.
  2. Mix the Crust Ingredients: In a shallow bowl, combine the freshly grated parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Whisk thoroughly to evenly distribute all flavors within the crust mixture.
  3. Dip Chicken in Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. Dip each chicken breast fully into the egg wash to ensure the crust will adhere properly during coating.
  4. Coat Chicken Thoroughly: Press the egg-coated chicken breasts firmly into the parmesan breadcrumb mixture. Make sure to cover both sides generously to form a thick, even crust.
  5. Cook Until Golden and Juicy: Heat olive oil or melted butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes on each side until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Alternatively, preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and bake the coated chicken for 20-25 minutes until cooked through and crusty.

Notes

  • Use a meat mallet to flatten chicken evenly for consistent cooking.
  • Opt for freshly grated parmesan to ensure better melting and crisping in the crust.
  • Do not overcrowd the pan; cook in batches if necessary to promote proper browning.
  • Allow chicken to rest for 5 minutes after cooking to lock in juices.
  • For an extra crunchy crust, double dip the chicken by repeating the egg wash and breadcrumb coating steps.
