Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 2 large eggs
  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Chicken: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness to ensure they cook evenly and remain juicy. Pat them dry with paper towels to help the breading adhere better.
  2. Set Up the Breading Station: Whisk the eggs in one shallow bowl. In another bowl, combine the panko bread crumbs, 3/4 cup of Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning for the flavorful coating.
  3. Bread the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, coating it completely. Then press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure to cover evenly with a thick layer.
  4. Cook the Chicken: Heat butter and olive oil together in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded chicken breasts for 4 to 5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through, taking care not to burn the crust.
  5. Add the Parmesan Topping: Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese on top of the chicken breasts, then place the skillet under a broiler just long enough to melt the cheese into a bubbly, golden topping.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Optionally garnish the chicken with freshly chopped parsley before serving hot to enjoy this delicious dish.

Notes

  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for superior melting and flavor.
  • Pound the chicken to ensure even cooking and tenderness.
  • Use a combination of butter and olive oil when cooking to achieve a crispy crust without burning.
  • Allow the cooked chicken to rest for a few minutes to lock in the juices.
  • Broil carefully and watch closely to prevent the cheese from burning.
