Method
Preparation
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, mozzarella, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, salt, and pepper in a shallow bowl until evenly combined.
- Whisk eggs and milk in a separate bowl until smooth.
- Put the flour in a third shallow dish.
- Lightly dredge each chicken breast in flour, shaking off excess.
- Dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture until fully coated.
- Press both sides of each breast into the breadcrumb mixture so the crumbs adhere, packing gently.
Cooking
- Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the chicken; do not crowd the pan. Cook in batches if needed.
- Sear the chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side until a golden crust forms. Turn carefully to keep the crust intact.
- Transfer the seared breasts to a baking dish and bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) at the thickest part.
- Let the chicken rest for 3 to 5 minutes before slicing.
Nutrition
Notes
For extra crispy crust, use panko breadcrumbs or toast breadcrumbs in a dry skillet before mixing. Pound uneven chicken breasts to ensure consistent cooking.
