Parmesan Crusted Chicken is a delicious and easy dinner option. This recipe creates a crispy, golden chicken with incredible flavor and satisfying texture, perfect for a weeknight meal.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons milk
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, black pepper, and salt. This is your Parmesan crust mixture.
  3. In another shallow dish, whisk together the eggs and milk. This is your egg wash.
  4. Dip each chicken breast first into the egg wash, ensuring it’s fully coated.
  5. Next, press the egg-washed chicken into the Parmesan crust mixture, coating both sides generously. This creates your Parmesan crusted chicken.
  6. Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  7. Sear the Parmesan crusted chicken for 2-3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  8. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven.
  9. Bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). This ensures your Parmesan chicken bake is fully cooked.
  10. Let the Parmesan crusted chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy your easy Parmesan chicken dinner.

Notes
