Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 oz / 170g each)
- 1/2 cup (60g) all-purpose flour, seasoned with salt and pepper
- 2 large eggs, beaten
- 1/4 cup (60ml) milk
- 1 cup (90g) grated Parmesan cheese, finely grated
- 1/2 cup (60g) breadcrumbs, plain, dried
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian herb blend
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions:
- If the chicken breasts are very thick, pound them gently with a meat mallet to an even 1/2-inch thickness.
- In separate shallow dishes, place seasoned flour, beaten eggs mixed with milk, and Parmesan herb crust mixture.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, then dip in the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with the Parmesan herb crust. Press gently to adhere.
- Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the breaded chicken breasts and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until golden brown and cooked through. Ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
- Remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.
