Crispy, golden-chicken breasts bathed in a savory Parmesan breadcrumb crust. A juicy, flavorful, and quick weeknight dinner that feels special. Perfect with roasted vegetables and salad.

Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (6 ounces each)
1 cup plain breadcrumbs
3/4 cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon paprika
1/2 teaspoon fine salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 large eggs
2 tablespoons milk
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)
Optional: lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions

Preheat the oven. Set to 400°F and line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. Brush 1 tablespoon olive oil on the parchment.
Prepare the chicken. Pat dry with paper towels. Slice thick breasts horizontally (if needed), gently pound to 3/4-inch thickness for even baking.
Mix the coating. In a bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper until evenly speckled.
Make the egg dip. Whisk eggs with milk in a second bowl until smooth and pale yellow.
Coat each piece. Dip one chicken breast into the egg mixture, let excess drip off, then press firmly into the Parmesan mixture to fully coat. Repeat with remaining breasts.
Arrange and bake. Place chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil. Bake for 25 minutes or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Garnish and serve. Sprinkle with parsley. Squeeze fresh lemon if desired.

Notes

For extra crispiness, chill the coated chicken on a wire rack for 15 minutes before baking.
Meal prep: Cook in advance and freeze for up to 3 months. Thaw and reheat at 350°F.
Lined baking sheets ensure easy cleanup and more even cooking.
