Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs (panko for extra crispiness)
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 tbsp butter

Instructions

  • Pound chicken breasts to an even thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning.
  • Dredge each chicken breast in flour, dip into the eggs, and coat in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture.
  • Heat olive oil and butter in a large skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook the chicken for 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add some lemon zest to the breadcrumb mixture.
  • Bake the chicken in the oven at 400°F (200°C) for 20 minutes if you prefer baking over frying.
  • Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or pasta.
