Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts
• 1 cup Breadcrumbs
• 3 ounces Grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 large Eggs
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Chopped fresh parsley (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with nonstick spray.

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, black pepper, and paprika.

Step 3

In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

Step 4

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dip each chicken breast first into the beaten eggs, coating both sides, then press into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating.

Step 5

Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle the tops lightly with olive oil to help them crisp up during baking.

Step 6

Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.

Step 7

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 8

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley, if desired, and serve alongside your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.
