Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

For the chicken
  • 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless skinless
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the breading
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Seasoning
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat oven to 375°F.
  2. Mix breadcrumbs, half the Parmesan, and seasonings in one dish.
  3. Beat eggs and milk in another dish.
  4. Put flour in a third dish.
  5. Dredge chicken in flour, then egg mixture, then breadcrumb mixture.
Cooking
  1. Cook chicken in olive oil for 3–4 minutes per side until golden.
  2. Transfer to a baking dish.
  3. Mix remaining Parmesan with mozzarella and garlic. Top chicken and bake for 20–25 minutes until cooked through.

Notes

Pound thicker breasts to an even thickness for more uniform cooking. Press the breadcrumb mixture firmly for better adherence. For extra crispness, broil for the last 1–2 minutes.
