Parmesan Garlic Chicken (Printable Version)

Juicy chicken coated in crispy garlic parmesan goodness. Easy to make, pan-fried or baked till beautifully golden.

# Ingredients:

→ Main Ingredients

01 - 2 large eggs, whisked
02 - 4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless

→ Coating

03 - 2 teaspoons garlic powder
04 - ½ cup Panko crumbs
05 - Salt and pepper as needed
06 - 1 teaspoon Italian herbs (optional)
07 - ½ cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
08 - 2 tablespoons butter (melted) or olive oil

# Steps:

01 - If baking, turn the oven to 400°F (200°C). Flatten the chicken breasts if they’re uneven in thickness.
02 - Mix together breadcrumbs, Italian herbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, plus salt and pepper in one bowl. Beat the eggs in a different bowl.
03 - Dip the chicken breasts into the egg mixture, then press them into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mix until all sides are covered.
04 - Lay the coated chicken on a baking tray lined with parchment. Pour on butter or olive oil. Bake for 20-25 minutes, flipping once halfway, until golden and cooked through.
05 - Warm oil in a pan over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side until it’s golden and the inside hits 165°F (74°C).
06 - Give the chicken a few minutes to cool down before serving. Sprinkle with parsley or extra Parmesan if you’d like.

# Notes:

01 - Using Panko crumbs gives a great crunch
02 - You can bake or fry it, your choice
03 - Let the chicken rest before cutting it up
