Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
Breading
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
Cheese
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
Egg Wash
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
Additional Ingredients
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Olive oil for frying
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken after frying.
- Prepare Breading Stations: Set up three separate bowls: in the first bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with half of the grated Parmesan cheese; in the second bowl, beat the eggs together with the milk; place the flour in the third bowl.
- Dredge Chicken: Coat each chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off any excess, then dip into the egg mixture until fully coated, and lastly press into the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture to cover completely.
- Pan-Fry Chicken: Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat. Place the breaded chicken breasts in the pan and cook for approximately 3-4 minutes on each side, until they are golden brown and crispy.
- Assemble for Baking: Transfer the fried chicken breasts to a baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining Parmesan cheese, shredded mozzarella cheese, and minced garlic evenly over the top of each piece.
- Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- For extra crispiness, you can double coat the chicken by repeating the egg and breadcrumb steps.
- Feel free to add Italian herbs like oregano or basil to the breadcrumb mixture for added flavor.
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for food safety.
- Serve with pasta, a fresh salad, or steamed vegetables to complete your meal.
