Description
A crispy, cheesy, golden-baked chicken reminiscent of the popular restaurant dish, perfect for weeknights or casual dinners.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish large enough for the four chicken breasts.
- In one shallow dish, mix 1 cup bread crumbs, 1/2 cup Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- In a second dish, beat the eggs with milk. In a third dish, place the flour.
- Pat chicken breasts dry and dredge each in flour, dip into the egg mixture, and coat with the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat and cook chicken for 3–4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer the seared chicken to the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
- In a bowl, combine remaining 1/2 cup Parmesan, mozzarella, and minced garlic; sprinkle over chicken breasts.
- Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted and golden.
- Let rest for 3–5 minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra crunch, use Panko breadcrumbs. For a gluten-free version, substitute with gluten-free breadcrumbs and flour.
