Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts about 6 ounces each
- 2 eggs beaten, more if needed
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 ¾ cups Panko bread crumbs
- ¾ cup cornflake crumbs
- ½ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 2 tablespoons dried parsley
- 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 375°F.
- Pound chicken breasts to ½ inch thickness.
- Beat egg and set aside. In a separate shallow dish, combine flour, salt and pepper.
- In a second dish combine Panko bread crumbs, cornflake crumbs, Parmesan, parsley, and garlic powder.
- Dip chicken in flour first and then egg and finally in the crumb mixture pressing the crumbs to adhere.
- If you have a metal rack, place it on a large rimmed baking sheet. If not, spray the baking sheet with cooking spray. Add the chicken to the rack or pan and spray the top with cooking spray.
- Bake for 20 to 25 minutes or until juices run clear. Broil for 2 to 3 minutes until crispy and internal temp has reached 165°F.

Notes
- Larger chicken breasts will need additional cooking time. Cook until the thickest part of the chicken reaches 165°F.
- Nutritional information includes ⅔ of the crumb mixture, as I always have some leftover. Discard leftover crumbs.
- Keep leftover parmesan crusted chicken in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
