Start by heating your oven to 400°F (200°C) so it’s ready to use. While it heats up, dry your chicken breasts with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better. If the chicken is very thick, you can cut it in half or gently flatten it to cook evenly.

Set up a simple station for coating the chicken using three bowls. In the first bowl, put some flour with a little salt and pepper. In the second bowl, add beaten eggs to help the coating stick. In the third bowl, mix breadcrumbs with grated Parmesan cheese. This will give the chicken a crispy, golden crust.

Coat each chicken breast in the seasoned flour and shake off any extra. Then, dip the chicken into the beaten eggs so it’s fully covered. Finally, press the chicken into the breadcrumb and Parmesan mix until it’s coated all over. This makes a tasty, crispy crust.

Heat a grill pan or skillet over medium heat and add a little oil so the chicken doesn’t stick. When the oil looks hot, carefully place the chicken breasts on the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes on each side, until they’re golden and crispy. You don’t need to fully cook them yet since they’ll finish in the oven.

Transfer the seared chicken breasts into an oven-safe baking dish. Place the dish in your preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C). Baking ensures the chicken is tender and fully cooked while maintaining its crispy, cheesy crust.

After baking, take the chicken out of the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. This helps keep the chicken juicy. Serve your Parmesan Crusted Chicken with roasted veggies, a fresh salad, or your favorite pasta for a tasty meal. Enjoy this cheesy, crispy dish.
