Step 4

Bake Place breaded chicken on a wire rack on top of a parchment-lined baking sheet. Bake in a preheated 400°F oven for 12-15 minutes, or until internal temperature reaches 165°F.

Step 5

Rest and serve Let chicken rest for 5-10 minutes before cutting.

Step 6

Remember Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is fully cooked. Avoid cutting into the chicken before checking with a thermometer to prevent losing juices.

Step 7

Start by slicing each chicken breast in half to and cover with plastic wrap, then pound thin.

Step 8

In the first plate, mix together flour with 1/2 teaspoon each of salt, pepper, onion powder, and garlic powder.

Step 10

In the second plate, whisk together 1 egg and a splash of water.

Step 11

In the third plate, combine panko breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, salt, Italian seasoning, and paprika.

Step 12

Lightly season the chicken with salt and pepper. Dip each piece into the flour mixture, shaking off the excess. Next, dip it into the egg mixture, allowing any extra to drip off. Finally, coat the chicken in the panko mixture, pressing firmly to ensure even coverage on both sides.

Step 13

Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add oil. Once heated, add the chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes on each side. If the pan gets too hot, reduce the heat to medium-low to avoid burning the outside while ensuring the chicken cooks through.
