A quick and indulgent Parmesan chicken dish that balances crisp breading with gooey cheese, perfect for busy weeknights.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 to 8 ounces each)
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or panko for extra crunch)
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced (or 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder in a pinch)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 375°F.
  2. Set up three shallow dishes. In the first, place the flour. In the second, whisk the eggs with milk until blended. In the third, mix breadcrumbs, half the Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. If the breasts are uneven, gently pound them to about 1/2 inch thickness for even cooking.
  4. Dredge each breast first in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into the egg mixture, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat well on both sides.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. When the oil shimmers, add the chicken and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown. Do not crowd the pan; work in batches if needed.
  6. Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish in a single layer.
  7. In a small bowl, combine the remaining Parmesan with the shredded mozzarella and minced garlic. Evenly sprinkle this mixture over each chicken breast.
  8. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the cheese is bubbly and lightly golden. Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

The crust stays crisp and the cheese melts perfectly. Don’t skip the flour step; it helps the egg adhere and creates a stronger bond for the breadcrumb layer.
