Ingredients

  • 2 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 cloves minced garlic
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 3 tablespoons olive oil (for pan-frying)
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Pound chicken breasts to even thickness and pat dry.
  2. Season both sides with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.
  3. Set up three dishes: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with Parmesan mixed with minced garlic.
  4. Dredge chicken in flour, then dip in egg, then press into Parmesan mixture to coat thoroughly.
  5. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat.
  6. Cook chicken for 5–6 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temp 165°F / 74°C).
  7. Remove from skillet, garnish with parsley if desired, and serve warm.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, mix lemon zest into the Parmesan crust.
  • Add red pepper flakes for a spicy twist.
  • Use cornstarch instead of flour for a crisper coating.
  • Combine mozzarella and Parmesan for a cheesier variation.
  • Air-fry at 375°F (190°C) for 12–15 minutes as an alternative method.
