Ingredients
  

Chicken
  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 6 oz each
Breading Station
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 2/3 cup Panko bread crumbs
  • 2/3 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1 1/2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp onion powder
  • 1/4 tsp dried basil
  • 2 tbsp dried parsley
  • cooking spray

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • Meat Mallet or Rolling Pin
  • Shallow dishes
  • Instant-read thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Pound chicken breasts to ½ inch thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
  3. In a shallow dish, mix flour, salt, and pepper. In another dish, beat the eggs. In a third dish, combine Panko, seasoned bread crumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, basil, and parsley.
  4. Coat each chicken breast first in the flour mixture, then dip in the beaten eggs, and finally coat with the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Place chicken pieces on the prepared baking sheet and spray the tops with cooking spray.
  6. Bake for 25–28 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C). Let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

Try adding Parmesan cheese or spices like paprika for flavor variation. For reheating, use an oven or air fryer for best crispiness. You can also freeze cooked chicken for up to 3 months.
