Ingredients
- 2 large chicken breasts boneless and skinless
- ½ teaspoon garlic powder
- ½ teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon oregano
- ¼ teaspoon salt
- ⅛ teaspoon black pepper
- 1 large egg beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- ¼ cup parmesan grated
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 475ºF.
- Pound the chicken breasts not too thin and place them on a plate.
- Add the garlic and onion powder, paprika, oregano, salt and black pepper. Mix the fillets well until well coated in the seasoning.
- Prepare one bowl with the beaten egg and another bowl with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs and parmesan mixed.
- Dip the chicken pieces into the egg wash and transfer them to the panko mixture. Remove the excess and repeat with the remaining chicken piece.
- Add the chicken to a lightly greased sheet pan. Spray with some oil spray to make breading extra golden. Bake for 15 minutes, flip, and bake for a further 5 to 7 minutes until the breasts are cooked through (165ºF internal temperature) and crispy.
- Remove from the pan, sprinkle fresh parsley and serve.
Notes
Store leftover panko chicken in an airtight container inside the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven to return the crispness of the breadcrumbs.
Use high-quality meat. The key ingredient of this recipe is chicken. Look for organic, free-range chickens if possible. The better the chicken you use, the better the flavor and texture of your finished dish.
Press down firmly on the breading mixture when applying it. This helps the breading stick to the chicken. It also helps create a nice even coating that will stay put during cooking.
Check for doneness with a meat thermometer. Chicken is fully cooked when it reaches an internal temperature of 165ºF.
