Instructions:

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or olive oil.
  2. In a shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, dried Italian seasoning, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
  3. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the chicken breasts in the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere the coating.
  4. Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process for the remaining chicken breasts.
  5. Lightly spray or drizzle some olive oil over the top of the chicken breasts to help them brown in the oven.
  6. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes or until the crust is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) when measured with a meat thermometer.
  7. Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

You can serve Parmesan Crusted Chicken with a side of steamed vegetables, a salad, or your choice of side dish. Enjoy!
