Parmesan Crusted Chicken
This recipe takes me right back to Sunday dinners at my cousin’s place—crispy, golden chicken that had everyone asking for seconds. With a savory Parmesan coating and a perfect pan-seared finish, it’s a classic that feels fancy but is wonderfully simple. Pair it with salad, pasta, or eat it straight off the plate—it’s that good.

Ingredients
2 large chicken breasts, sliced into cutlets
½ tsp garlic powder
Salt & pepper, to taste
¼ cup all-purpose flour
2 eggs, beaten
⅔ cup panko breadcrumbs
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
½ heaping tsp Italian seasoning
3 tbsp olive oil, divided
Instructions
Prep Chicken: Pound or slice chicken into even cutlets. Season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Bread Chicken: Set up three bowls—one with flour, one with beaten eggs, one with panko, Parmesan, and Italian seasoning. Dredge each piece of chicken in flour, then egg, then breadcrumb mixture.
Cook: Heat 1½ tbsp olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook chicken in batches, about 4–5 minutes per side, until golden and cooked through. Add more oil as needed.
Serve: Let rest a few minutes before serving. Great with lemon wedges or over greens.
Notes
Crispy, cheesy, and full of flavor—this is your go-to chicken for any day that needs a little extra comfort.
