  • Total Time: 25 minutes
  • Yield: 2 servings

Ingredients

  • 2 large chicken breasts, halved and flattened
  • 3 large eggs
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs
  • 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt (for seasoning chicken)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper (for seasoning chicken)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (for seasoning flour)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper (for seasoning flour)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (for seasoning breadcrumbs)
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper (for seasoning breadcrumbs)
  • 1 teaspoon oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Cooking spray or olive oil
  • Caesar salad, for topping

Instructions

  1. Halve and flatten the chicken breasts. Season both sides with 1/2 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper.
  2. In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs. In another shallow bowl, mix flour with 1/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper. In a third bowl, mix panko, Parmesan, 1/4 teaspoon salt, 1/4 teaspoon pepper, oregano, garlic powder, and smoked paprika.
  3. Dredge chicken in seasoned flour, then dip into beaten eggs, and finally coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
  4. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and spray generously with cooking spray (or add a small amount of olive oil).
  5. Once hot, add the breaded chicken and cook for 4–5 minutes per side until golden and cooked through (internal temp should reach 165°F/74°C).
  6. Remove from skillet and rest on a paper towel-lined plate to absorb excess oil.
  7. Top with Caesar salad and serve immediately.

Notes

  • Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to flatten chicken evenly for consistent cooking.
  • Substitute regular breadcrumbs for panko if needed, though panko gives extra crunch.
  • For added flavor, squeeze lemon juice over the finished dish.
  • Great with a side of crusty bread or roasted vegetables.
