Instructions

Making Parmesan-Crusted Chicken is simple and rewarding. Follow these steps for perfect results every time:

1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or spraying it with cooking spray.
2. Prepare the Breading Mixture: In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, seasoned breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
3. Prepare the Egg Wash: In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
4. Breading the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, transfer it to the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to make sure the breadcrumbs adhere well.
5. Place on Baking Sheet: Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
6. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle olive oil on top of each breast for added crispiness.
7. Bake the Chicken: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
8. Check for Doneness: The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
9. Rest Before Serving: Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow juices to redistribute.

Following these steps will lead you to an incredible Parmesan-Crusted Chicken that’s delicious and satisfying!
