Parmesan Crusted Chicken

This parmesan crusted chicken is super crispy, cheesy, and delicious! It is one of my favorite ways to switch up classic baked chicken breasts. Plus, it is super simple to make and goes really well with a variety of dishes!

Ingredients

  • cup panko breadcrumbs
  • cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoons salt
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • ½ teaspoon dried rosemary or Italian seasoning
  • ¼ teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 eggs
  • 4 chicken cutlets
  • 3 tablespoons avocado oil or vegetable oil
  • chopped parsley and lemon wedges for serving

Instructions

  • In a large shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and grated parmesan cheese. In another bowl, whisk together the flour, salt, garlic powder, dried rosemary, and black pepper. In a third bowl, beat the eggs.
  • Now take a chicken cutlet and cover it in flour. Next, dip the chicken into the egg bowl until it is evenly covered. Then add the chicken to the breadcrumb bowl and flip until it is covered. Repeat these steps for all chicken cutlets.
  • Preheat the avocado oil or vegetable oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. When the oil is hot, cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until it is golden brown.
  • Garnish with parsley. Then serve the parmesan crusted chicken cutlets with your sides of choice and lemon wedges. Enjoy!

Notes

  • You can use chicken breasts instead of pre-cut chicken cutlets. Just cut the chicken breasts into two thin halves.
