Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Breading Mixture

  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 ½ cups panko breadcrumbs (or gluten-free breadcrumbs for gluten-free option)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Binding

  • 2 large eggs, beaten

For Frying

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil or butter

Instructions

  1. Prepare Your Ingredients: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness so they cook uniformly. Set up three bowls: one with beaten eggs, one with a mixture of parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper, and one empty plate for the coated chicken.
  2. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast first into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then dredge the chicken in the parmesan-panko mixture, pressing firmly to create an even and thick crust that will crisp beautifully when cooked.
  3. Fry to Golden Perfection: Heat olive oil or butter in a skillet over medium heat. Fry the coated chicken breasts until golden brown and crisp on each side, about 4-5 minutes per side. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
  4. Rest and Serve: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes on a wire rack or paper towels to drain excess oil and allow the crust to settle, maintaining its crispiness.

Notes

  • Pound chicken breasts evenly to ensure juicy and consistent cooking.
  • Use freshly grated parmesan cheese for superior flavor and texture.
  • Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan and lowering oil temperature.
  • Check internal temperature with a thermometer to prevent overcooking.
  • Rest cooked chicken on a wire rack rather than paper towels to keep crust crisp.
