Instructions
- Cut chicken breasts in half lengthwise (knife parallel to the cutting board) to create fillets.
- Using a meat mallet, pound until each fillet is an even thickness.
- In a shallow bowl, combine beaten eggs with half of the Italian seasoning and garlic powder.
- In a separate bowl, mix together breadcrumbs, grated Parmigiano Reggiano, salt and the remaining Italian seasoning.
- Then, working with one chicken fillet at a time, dredge in the seasoned egg wash, let excess drip off, then coat both sides in the breadcrumb mixture, making sure to gently press down so the coating adheres.
- Heat oil in a skillet and add 2 of the chicken fillets. Cook for about 2-3 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Use a meat thermometer to check for doneness. Chicken is considered done and safe to eat when the internal temperature reaches 74C / 165F.
- Transfer to a plate and keep warm while cooking the rest of the chicken.
- Garnish with fresh parsley, serve and enjoy!
Make Air Fryer Parmesan Chicken
- Follow step one to 5 above
- Preheat Air Fryer to 380 degrees F.
- Place them in the air fryer basket. It is important to make sure the chicken breast are not touching.
- Cook time for the first side will be between 5-6 minutes.
- Check the meat for doneness, then flip over and cook for an additional 4-5 minutes.
Notes
- Make Parmesan-Infused Oil. Get the most from your Parmesan by adding the rind to a jar and covering with olive oil. Allow to steep to get a deliciously flavored oil that you can use in this recipe and many others.
- Bring the chicken to room temperature before breading so you end up with nice crispy chicken
- Cut chicken breast into thinner fillets by holding them flat with the palm of your hand. Use a sharp knife to then slice the chicken breast horizontally (knife parallel to the cutting board) into two even pieces.
- Always check chicken for doneness using a meat thermometer. The chicken is done when the internal temperature reaches at least 165F / 74C at the thickest part.
- If you get too much moisture into your breadcrumb mixture, simply scoop that bit off the plate and re-spread the remaining breadcrumbs.
- But if the breadcrumb mixture gets too wet, you may want to discard it and start fresh.
- Storage – keep leftovers in an airtight container inside the fridge for up to 3 days.
