Ingredients

• •2 chicken breasts
• •1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• •1 cup breadcrumbs
• •1 tsp garlic powder
• •1 tsp dried oregano
• •1 tsp dried basil
• •1/2 tsp salt
• •1/2 tsp black pepper
• •2 eggs
• •1 tbsp milk
• •3 tbsp olive oil
• •Lemon wedges for serving (optional)

Instructions

1. 1

   Start by preparing the chicken. Make sure the chicken breasts are pounded to an even thickness for even cooking.

2. 2

   In a shallow bowl, beat the eggs and mix them with the milk. Set aside.

3. 3

   In another shallow dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt, and black pepper.

4. 4

   Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off before coating it in the Parmesan mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick well.

5. 5

   Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat until shimmering.

6. 6

   Add the coated chicken breasts to the skillet and cook for about 5-7 minutes per side, or until they are golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).

7. 7

   Once cooked, remove the chicken from the skillet and let it rest for a few minutes before slicing.

8. 8

   Serve the chicken with lemon wedges for extra flavor, if desired.
