Ingredients
For the Chicken Coating:
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- ½ cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- ¼ cup milk
- 1 cup bread crumbs or gluten-free alternative
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
For Searing:
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
For the Cheese Topping:
- ½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves garlic minced
Instructions
1. Preheat the Oven & Prepare the Baking Dish
- Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil to prevent sticking.
2. Prepare the Coating Mixtures
- In a shallow dish, add flour for dredging.
- In another dish, whisk together eggs and milk.
- In a third dish, mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
3. Coat the Chicken
- Dredge chicken breasts in flour, coating evenly. Shake off excess.
- Dip the chicken into the egg mixture, coating both sides.
- Press into the Parmesan-bread crumb mixture, ensuring a full coating.
4. Sear the Chicken
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Sear chicken for 3-4 minutes per side, until golden brown.
5. Add the Cheese Topping
- In a small bowl, mix Parmesan, mozzarella, and garlic.
- Sprinkle over each chicken breast generously.
6. Bake the Chicken
- Transfer seared chicken to the prepared baking dish.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- If cheese browns too quickly, loosely cover with foil.
7. Serve & Enjoy!
- Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
- Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with mashed potatoes, veggies, or pasta.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, double-dip the chicken in the egg and breadcrumb mixture.
- To make it gluten-free, use gluten-free breadcrumbs.
- For a healthier version, bake instead of searing or use an air fryer at 375°F for 12-15 minutes.
