100% Parmesan Chicken

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

2. In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Mix well to ensure all the seasonings are evenly distributed.

3. In another bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

4. Take each chicken breast and dip it first into the beaten eggs, coating both sides.

5. Next, dredge the chicken in the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks to the chicken.

6. Repeat the process with all the chicken breasts.

7. In a large skillet, heat some olive oil over medium-high heat.

8. Once the oil is hot, add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet, making sure not to overcrowd the pan. Cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and crispy.

9. Transfer the seared chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.

10. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

11. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

12. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley for a pop of color and freshness.

13. Serve the 100% Parmesan Chicken hot, alongside your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a crisp salad.
