Ingredients
Chicken and Coatings
- 4 pieces chicken breasts, boneless skinless
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese divided into two parts
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
Seasoning & Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil for frying
Instructions
Preparation
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Prepare three shallow dishes: one with flour, another with a mixture of beaten eggs and milk, and the last with breadcrumbs mixed with half of the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Cooking
- Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook each chicken breast for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken to a baking dish.
- In a separate bowl, mix the remaining Parmesan cheese, mozzarella, and minced garlic, and spread the mixture on top of the chicken.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted.
Serving
- Let the chicken rest for 3-5 minutes before serving.
- Serve hot with vegetables, rice, or a fresh salad.
Notes
For best results, pound the chicken to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Press the breadcrumbs firmly onto the chicken to ensure they adhere well. Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best flavor. If the crumbs brown too quickly, finish cooking in the oven at a lower heat.
