Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1/4 cup milk
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • Olive oil

Instructions

  1. Step 1: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Step 2: Set up three bowls: mix bread crumbs with half of the Parmesan in one; beat eggs and milk in another; place flour in the third.
  3. Step 3: Dredge each chicken breast in flour, then dip into the egg mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Step 4: Heat olive oil in a frying pan over medium heat; cook chicken for about 3-4 minutes per side until golden brown.
  5. Step 5: Transfer chicken to a baking dish; top with remaining Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, and minced garlic.
  6. Step 6: Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and cheese is melted and bubbly.

Tips & Variations

  • Use panko bread crumbs for an extra crunchy coating.
  • Swap mozzarella for provolone or fontina to experiment with different flavors.
  • Add Italian seasoning or dried oregano to the breadcrumb mix for added herbaceous notes.
  • For a lighter version, bake the chicken without frying first—just spray with olive oil to crisp.

Storage

Store leftover Parmesan Chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a preheated oven at 350°F (175°C) until warmed through to maintain crispiness. Avoid microwaving if you want to keep the crust crispy.

How to Serve

The image shows a close-up of three crispy breaded chicken pieces arranged next to each other. Each piece has a golden brown, crunchy textured base layer. On top of the breading, a smooth, melted white cheese layer covers part of the chicken, slightly dripping at the edges. The cheese is sprinkled with small green herb flakes and tiny bits of light brown toasted garlic, adding texture and color contrast. The background is a white marbled surface.

FAQs

Can I use chicken thighs instead of breasts?

Instructions
