Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 1 pound boneless skinless chicken breast
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs plain or panko
  • 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon garlic salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 large egg
  • 1 tablespoon water

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (205°C) and line a baking dish with a wire rack.
  2. Trim any excess fat from the chicken breasts and pound to even thickness if needed.
  3. In a bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, Italian seasoning, garlic salt, and black pepper.
  4. In a separate bowl or tray, whisk together the egg and water.
  5. Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, letting excess drip off, then press into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.
  6. Place coated chicken on the wire rack in the prepared baking dish.
  7. Bake in preheated oven for 15–20 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.

Notes

Serve this Parmesan crusted chicken with pasta, rice, a green salad, or roasted veggies. Leftovers keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days; reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the crust crispy. :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
