Instructions
Cooking Instructions:
- Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
- In a shallow bowl, mix Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs. Season with salt and pepper.
- Dip chicken breasts into the beaten egg, then coat them in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Cook the chicken for 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
- Transfer the chicken to the oven and bake for 15 minutes, or until fully cooked (165°F internal temp).

- For extra crunch, add more Parmesan to the crust mixture.
- You can use chicken thighs instead of breasts for a juicier result.
- Feel free to make extra garlic sauce to pour over mashed potatoes or pasta!
