Main ingredients

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breast cutlets 5.5 oz each, 22 ounces total
  • 0.25 cup seasoned breadcrumbs
  • 0.25 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon grated Parmesan cheese
  • 0.5 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 0.5 teaspoon dried parsley
  • 0.5 teaspoon salt
  • 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
  • 0.25 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 large egg beaten
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Instructions

  • Pre-heat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil and set aside.
  • Place the chicken breasts on a cutting board and cover with parchment paper. Use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about ½ inch.
  • In a shallow dish, add the seasoned breadcrumbs, panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, parsley, salt, pepper, and garlic powder and stir to combine. Prepare the beaten egg in a separate shallow dish. Dip each chicken breast into the egg and flip around to coat. Allow any excess egg to drip off. Lay the coated chicken in the crumb mixture and flip to coat. Press the breadcrumb mixture lightly into the chicken.
  • In a large skillet, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat. When hot, add the chicken breasts and cook for 4-5 minutes until the bottoms are golden. Flip and cook for another 3 minutes. Transfer the breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
  • In a small bowl, stir together the light butter, minced garlic, parsley, and garlic salt until combined. Spread about two teaspoons of the garlic butter over each piece of breaded chicken. Sprinkle about a tablespoon of shredded Parmesan on top. Bake in the preheated oven for 14-18 minutes until fully cooked through.
