Equipment
- Oven-proof skillet For frying and baking chicken.
Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts Cut in half lengthwise
- 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 teaspoon pepper
- 0.25 cup flour
- 2 large eggs beaten
- 0.67 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 0.5 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and place the rack in the top third of the oven.
- Cut the chicken breasts in half lengthwise to create 4 thinner pieces. Pat them dry with a paper towel and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper on both sides.
- Set up three bowls: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and the third with panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning mixed together.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat.
- Coat each chicken piece in flour, then dip in the egg, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring to shake off any excess at each step.
- Add 2 chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for 2-3 minutes per side until golden. Use tongs to flip the chicken easily. Transfer the cooked pieces to a plate.
- For the second batch, add the remaining olive oil to the skillet and repeat the frying process. Once all chicken pieces are fried, arrange them in the skillet and transfer it to the oven.
- Bake for 5 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
- Serve immediately. For extra flavor, you can add a squeeze of lemon juice over the chicken before serving.
