Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 2 eggs, beaten
  • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Equipment

  • Shallow dishes
  • Meat mallet
  • Large oven-safe skillet
  • Oven

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch, to ensure even cooking.
  3. Set up a breading station with three shallow dishes: one with the flour, one with the beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and oregano.
  4. Dredge the chicken breasts in the flour, dip them in the beaten eggs, and then coat them in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to help the coating adhere.
  5. Heat the olive oil in a large, oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
  6. Carefully add the breaded chicken breasts to the hot oil and cook for 2-3 minutes per side, or until golden brown.
  7. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for an additional 10-12 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crispy.
  8. Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use panko breadcrumbs to achieve the ultimate crispiness. The oven-fry method ensures the chicken is cooked through while maintaining a perfectly crispy exterior. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, resulting in a juicy and flavorful dish.
