Ingredients
Main Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless skinless Juicy and tender, this is your canvas for all the delicious flavors.
- 1 cup bread crumbs Adds crunch to the outside, giving that perfect texture we all crave.
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese For a nutty and salty bite that pairs beautifully with chicken.
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Two cheeses bringing gooey goodness!
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Helps the breading stick perfectly.
- 2 large eggs The binder for our crust.
- 1/4 cup milk A splash of creaminess to the egg mixture.
- 2 cloves garlic, minced Adds a punch of flavor.
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning A fragrant blend that enhances the dish.
- 1/2 teaspoon salt Enhances all the flavors.
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper Brings everything together.
- 2 tablespoons olive oil For a lovely golden brown goodness.
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat your oven to 375°F.
- In a shallow dish, combine your bread crumbs, half the grated Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- In another dish, beat the eggs with the milk until smooth.
- Place the flour in a third dish, and lightly coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, then roll it in the breadcrumb mixture.
Cooking
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat and cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the golden chicken breasts to a baking dish.
- In a small bowl, mix the remaining Parmesan with mozzarella and minced garlic, and top each chicken piece with this mixture.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is bubbly and lightly browned.
Notes
Pro tips: Ensure the coating sticks by patting the chicken; check for internal temperature at 165°F; consider adding more cheese for extra cheesiness.
