Ingredients

• 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.5 cup all-purpose flour
• 2 large eggs
• 2 tablespoons milk
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 tablespoon fresh thyme, chopped
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 3 tablespoons olive oil

Directions

Step 1

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

Step 2

Pound the chicken breasts to a uniform thickness of about 1/2 inch using a meat mallet or rolling pin.

Step 3

Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.

Step 4

Place the flour in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, beat the eggs and milk together until well combined.

Step 5

In a third shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, thyme, and garlic powder.

Step 6

Dredge each chicken breast in the flour, shaking off any excess.

Step 7

Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off.

Step 8

Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even coating on both sides.

Step 9

Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.

Step 10

Add the chicken breasts and cook for 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.

Step 11

Bake in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).

Step 12

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

Step 13

Garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired and serve with your favorite sides.
