Prep : 10 Total : 25 minutes

Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 0.25 cup milk
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or melted butter

Instructions
 

Preparation Steps

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  • Place flour in a shallow dish. In another dish, whisk together eggs and milk. In a third dish, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  • Place coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle or brush lightly with olive oil or melted butter.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until chicken is golden brown and internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  • Let rest for 5 minutes before serving. Serve with lemon wedges and your favorite side.

Notes

For extra crispiness, spray the tops of the chicken lightly with cooking spray before baking.
