Description
Garlic Parmesan Crusted Chicken is a crispy, juicy dinner favorite that blends savory garlic with nutty Parmesan for a golden crust that’s irresistibly good. Quick enough for weeknights and impressive enough for guests, it’s a versatile dish that pairs well with pasta, salad, or roasted vegetables.
Ingredients
2 large boneless skinless chicken breasts
0.5 cup grated Parmesan cheese
0.5 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
1 teaspoon garlic powder
0.5 teaspoon salt
0.25 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
2 eggs, beaten
2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
1. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 0.5 inch, to ensure even cooking. Pat dry with paper towels.
2. In a shallow bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, pepper, and parsley.
3. Beat the eggs in another shallow bowl. Dip each chicken piece in the egg, then coat thoroughly in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture.
4. Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add chicken and cook 4-5 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F).
5. Let the chicken rest for 2-3 minutes before slicing. Serve hot with your favorite sides.
Notes
Use thin-cut chicken for faster, even cooking.
Avoid pre-shredded Parmesan for best texture.
Reheat leftovers in an air fryer to keep them crispy.
