Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Breading Mixture
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Wet Ingredients
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
Additional
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken later.
- Prepare Breading Mix: In a shallow bowl, combine bread crumbs, grated Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper. Mix evenly to create the flavorful coating.
- Mix Eggs and Milk: In a separate bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk until fully blended. This will help the breading stick to the chicken.
- Coat Chicken with Flour: Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, covering both sides thoroughly to create a dry surface for the egg wash.
- Dip in Egg Mixture: Next, dip the floured chicken into the egg and milk mixture, thoroughly coating each piece.
- Apply Breadcrumb Mixture: Press each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring the coating sticks well and covers the entire surface.
- Pan-Sear Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken breasts and cook for 3 to 4 minutes on each side until the crust is golden brown and crispy.
- Bake Chicken: Transfer the seared chicken breasts to a baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C), ensuring the chicken is fully cooked.
- Serve: Remove from the oven and serve hot. Enjoy the crispy, cheesy Parmesan chicken with your favorite sides.
Notes
- Ensure chicken breasts are of even thickness for consistent cooking; pounding them slightly if needed may help.
- Use a meat thermometer to verify the internal temperature reaches 165°F for safe consumption.
- For extra flavor, you may add minced garlic to the breadcrumb mixture instead of separately.
- Leftover Parmesan chicken can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
