Ingredients

• 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 cup Gluten-free breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Freshly grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Dried Italian herbs
• 0.5 teaspoon Salt
• 0.25 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 2 large Eggs
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 4 optional Lemon wedges
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

In a shallow bowl, mix together the gluten-free breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried Italian herbs, salt, and ground black pepper.

Step 3

In another shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.

Step 4

Take each chicken breast and dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is completely coated.

Step 5

Transfer the egg-coated chicken breast to the breadcrumb mixture and press it down to coat both sides thoroughly with the mixture. Repeat with all chicken breasts.

Step 6

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

Step 7

Transfer the browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 12-15 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is cooked through.

Step 9

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

Step 10

Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with lemon wedges if desired.
