Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F.
- In a shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs, half the Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs with the milk until blended.
- Place the flour in a third shallow dish.
- Pat the chicken dry. Dredge each breast in flour and shake off excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, coating completely.
- Roll each piece in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help crumbs adhere.
Cooking
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Add the chicken and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown.
- Transfer seared chicken breasts to a baking dish in a single layer.
- In a small bowl, combine the remaining Parmesan, shredded mozzarella, and minced garlic. Sprinkle this cheese mixture evenly over each breast.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly. Check doneness with an instant-read thermometer — the internal temperature should reach 165°F.
- Let the chicken rest 3 to 5 minutes before serving.

Notes
For gluten-free options, use gluten-free flour and breadcrumbs. For dairy-free, swap mozzarella and Parmesan for dairy-free cheeses. To enhance crispness, replace half the breadcrumbs with Panko.
