Parmesan Crusted Chicken is a flavorful and crispy chicken dish coated with Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. It's a quick, easy recipe perfect for weeknight dinners. The key ingredients are boneless chicken breasts, Parmesan cheese, and breadcrumbs, creating a crispy, cheesy crust on the outside while keeping the chicken juicy inside.

Ingredients

  • Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • Parmesan cheese (grated)
  • Breadcrumbs
  • Eggs
  • Salt and pepper
  • Olive oil or butter

Instructions

  • Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness.
  • Mix grated Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs in a bowl.
  • Beat the eggs in another bowl.
  • Dip each chicken breast in the beaten eggs, then coat with the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture.
  • Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  • Cook the chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy, and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  • Serve hot, garnished with extra Parmesan if desired.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, bake in the oven at 400°F for 5-7 minutes after pan-frying.
  • You can substitute panko breadcrumbs for regular breadcrumbs for a lighter crust.
