- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 2 eggs, beaten
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon dried basil
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for cooking
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with olive oil.
- In a shallow dish, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
- In another shallow dish, beat the eggs.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it completely.
- Next, dredge the chicken breasts in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating to the chicken.
- Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the top of each chicken breast to help them crisp up in the oven.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
- Serve the Parmesan-crusted chicken hot with your favorite side dishes, such as roasted vegetables, salad, or mashed potatoes. Enjoy your delicious meal!
