Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Parmesan Crust Mixture

  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Breading and Cooking

  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter (for pan-frying)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel to ensure the coating sticks well. If the breasts are thick, pound them gently to an even thickness for quick and even cooking.
  2. Make the Parmesan Crust Mixture: In a shallow bowl, combine freshly grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix well until ingredients are evenly distributed to create a flavorful crust.
  3. Set Up the Breading Station: Beat the eggs in a separate bowl. Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash, letting any excess drip off, then coat thoroughly with the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture. Press gently to adhere the crust firmly to the chicken.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil or butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Carefully place the coated chicken breasts in the pan and cook for 4-5 minutes per side, until the crust is golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  5. Rest and Serve: Transfer the cooked chicken to a plate and let rest for a few minutes to lock in the juices. Serve hot with your favorite sides or garnish as desired.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for the best melt and richest crust.
  • Don’t overcrowd the skillet; cook in batches if necessary to maintain heat and crispness.
  • Pound chicken breasts evenly for consistent cooking and tenderness.
  • Firmly press the breadcrumb mixture onto the chicken to prevent it from falling off during cooking.
  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
