  • Total Time: 45 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 1.5 lbs)
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 large eggs
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • Olive oil spray

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Set up three shallow bowls: one with seasoned flour (salt and pepper), one with whisked eggs, and the last with panko mixed with garlic powder.
  3. Coat each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, dip in the egg mixture, then press into the panko until well coated.
  4. Place the breaded chicken on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil.
  5. Bake for 25-30 minutes until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 75°C).

Notes

  • For added flavor, mix in grated Parmesan or fresh herbs into the panko.
  • Ensure chicken is dry before breading for optimal crispiness.
