Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill, finely chopped
• 0.5 cup parmesan cheese, grated
• 1 teaspoon lemon zest
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon garlic powder
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

Step 2

In a shallow dish, combine the gluten-free breadcrumbs, chopped dill, grated Parmesan cheese, lemon zest, salt, ground black pepper, and garlic powder. Mix well and set aside.

Step 3

In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth and set aside.

Step 4

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season them lightly with additional salt and pepper, if desired.

Step 5

Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated, then transfer it to the breadcrumb mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they adhere well.

Step 6

Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.

Step 7

Drizzle or brush the tops of the chicken breasts with olive oil to help them achieve a golden crust in the oven.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).

Step 9

Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

Step 10

Garnish with additional fresh dill if desired and serve immediately.
