Ingredients

Scale

    • 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
    • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
    • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
    • 1 teaspoon paprika
    • ½ teaspoon salt
    • ½ teaspoon black pepper
    • 2 large eggs, beaten
    • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  • Prepare the Chicken: Coat chicken breasts with beaten eggs, then coat in a breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture.
  • Cook the Chicken: Sear in olive oil until golden and cooked through, about 5–6 minutes per side.
