Ingredients
Scale
Chicken and Coating
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
Topping
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
For Cooking
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) to prepare for baking the chicken later.
- Prepare Breading Stations: In three separate dishes, place the flour in one, beat the eggs with milk in the second, and combine bread crumbs, half the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper in the third.
- Coat the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast first in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg and milk mixture, and finally coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture to ensure an even crust.
- Sear the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat and cook the chicken breasts about 3-4 minutes per side until they are golden brown and crisp on the outside.
- Transfer to Baking Dish: Move the seared chicken breasts into a baking dish ready for the cheese topping and baking process.
- Prepare Cheese Topping: Mix the remaining Parmesan cheese with shredded mozzarella and minced garlic to create a flavorful cheese blend.
- Add Topping and Bake: Spread the cheese mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, then bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Notes
- Ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) for safe consumption.
- Use fresh grated Parmesan cheese for better flavor.
- For a crispier crust, use panko breadcrumbs instead of regular bread crumbs.
- Let the chicken rest a few minutes after baking to retain juices.
- Serve with a side of vegetables or salad for a complete meal.
