Ingredients
Scale
Chicken:
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Breading and Coating:
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Liquid and Frying Ingredients:
- 1/2 cup milk
- 1 large egg
- 1/4 cup butter (57 grams)
- Fresh herbs (e.g., oregano or parsley)
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F, ensuring a consistent cooking environment for the chicken breast.
- Combine flour, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, and black pepper in a shallow dish to create a flavorful breading mixture.
- Whisk milk and egg together in a separate bowl to form a smooth binding liquid for the breading.
- Dip each chicken breast into the milk-egg mixture, allowing excess liquid to drip off, then coat thoroughly in the seasoned flour mixture, pressing gently to ensure even coverage.
- Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat, then carefully place the breaded chicken breasts into the pan.
- Cook chicken for 5-7 minutes per side until golden brown, achieving a crispy exterior and initial cooking.
- Transfer the seared chicken to a baking dish and place in the preheated oven for 10-15 minutes to complete cooking and ensure tender, juicy meat.
- Remove chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes, allowing juices to redistribute throughout the meat.
- Garnish with fresh herbs like oregano or parsley, then serve warm for a delectable dining experience.
Notes
- Prep Chicken with Care: Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove excess moisture, ensuring a crispy and golden-brown coating that sticks perfectly.
- Avoid Overcooking: Use a meat thermometer to check internal temperature, which should reach 165°F (74°C) without drying out the meat, guaranteeing juicy and tender results every time.
- Customize Breading Options: Swap regular flour with gluten-free alternatives like almond flour or cornmeal for those with dietary restrictions, maintaining the same delicious crunch and flavor profile.
- Enhance Flavor Variations: Experiment with different herbs and spices in the breading mixture, such as smoked paprika, dried thyme, or cayenne pepper, to create unique taste experiences that suit your palate.
