Ingredients
4 large chicken breast fillets
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs, beaten
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp smoked paprika
Salt and black pepper to taste
Olive oil spray
Instructions
Step 1: Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and place a wire cooling rack on top of a large baking sheet.
Step 2: In a shallow bowl, mix the flour with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper.
Step 3: In a second bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. In a third bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.
Step 4: Dredge each chicken fillet in the flour, shaking off excess, then dip into the egg wash, and finally coat thoroughly with the panko mixture.
Step 5: Place the breaded chicken fillets onto the wire rack and lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray.
Step 6: Bake for 18-22 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
Notes
Always use a wire rack for the crunchiest results and ensure the chicken is not overcrowded on the tray.
