Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup breadcrumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (divided)
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In a shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs, half of the Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. In another dish, beat the eggs and milk, and place the flour in a third dish.
- Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip it into the egg mixture, and then cover it with the breadcrumb mixture.
- Heat olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for about 3-4 minutes per side until they’re golden brown.
- Place the seared chicken into a baking dish. In a bowl, mix the remaining Parmesan, mozzarella, and minced garlic, and top the chicken with this cheesy mixture. Bake for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
