Ingredients

4 chicken breasts boneless and skinless
1 cup parmesan cheese grated
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons Italian seasoning
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs beaten
1/4 cup olive oil

Instructions

Pound the chicken breasts into 1/2-inch thickness. Season with salt and pepper.
In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese and bread crumbs. In a second bowl, add the flour, Italian seasoning, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well. In a separate bowl, add the beaten eggs.
Dip each chicken breast into the flour mix, then the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Press the chicken breasts into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, coating both sides thoroughly.
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side until they turn golden brown.

Notes

Oven baked method: Lay the breaded chicken breasts on a wire rack on top of a baking sheet and spray them with cooking spray. Bake at 400°F for 15-20 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165F.

Air fryer method: It's identical to my air fryer chicken parmesan (minus the sauce and cheese). To air fry, lay the coated chicken breasts in the air fryer basket and lightly spray them with cooking spray. Air fry at 350ºF for 15 minutes, flip, and cook for another 10 minutes or until they’re crispy and golden.

Storage: Once cooled, wrap the cooked chicken breasts in plastic wrap or store them in an airtight container. They’ll stay fresh for up to 3 or 4 days in the fridge.
