Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking Sheet
  • Parchment Paper
  • three medium bowls
  • Whisk
  • Tongs
  • Measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 1 1/2 pounds chicken breasts
  • 1 pinch salt or to taste
  • 1 pinch black pepper or to taste
  • 1 1/2 cups seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 1 tablespoon dried oregano
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley chopped
  • 3 eggs beaten
  • 1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour

Instructions
 

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  • Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper to taste.
  • In a medium bowl, combine the seasoned breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, paprika, and chopped fresh parsley.
  • In a separate bowl, beat the eggs with a whisk until well combined.
  • Place the flour in another shallow bowl or plate. Dredge each seasoned chicken breast in the flour, coating both sides and shaking off excess.
  • Dip the floured chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
  • Press the egg-coated chicken into the breadcrumb mixture so the crumbs adhere evenly on both sides.
  • Arrange the breaded chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, spacing them so they do not touch.
  • Bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature 165°F / 74°C). Let rest 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

  • Let the chicken rest for at least 5 minutes after cooking.
  • Season the flour for extra flavor before dredging.
  • Soaking the chicken in buttermilk before coating will tenderize it.
