Ingredients

Ingredients:

  • Extra virgin olive oil – 2 tablespoons
  • Fresh garlic – 1 clove (finely minced)
  • Seasoned bread crumbs (dry) – 1 cup
  • Parmesan cheese (freshly grated) – ⅔ cup
  • Dried basil – 1 teaspoon
  • Freshly ground black pepper – ¼ teaspoon

Instructions

  1. Pound the chicken breasts: Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about ½ inch, using a meat mallet or rolling pin for quicker, even cooking.
  2. Season the chicken: Season both sides of the chicken with a light sprinkle of salt and black pepper.
  3. Prepare breading station: Set up three shallow bowls: Bowl 1 with all-purpose flour, Bowl 2 with beaten eggs, and Bowl 3 with a mixture of breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and dried Italian herbs.
  4. Coat the chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then egg wash, and finally press into the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture until fully coated.
  5. Cook the chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the coated chicken breasts for 4–5 minutes on each side until golden and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
  6. Finish cooking: Flip carefully, ensuring even browning. Adjust heat if needed to prevent burning. Remove from skillet when crispy and cooked through, then let rest before slicing.
  7. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley or extra Parmesan and serve hot with your favorite sides.
