Description
Cheesy Breaded Chicken
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup breadcrumbs
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp paprika
Salt and black pepper, to taste
2 large eggs, beaten
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
2 tbsp olive oil
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Coating: In a shallow dish, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper. In a separate bowl, beat the eggs.
2. Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, then coat evenly with the breadcrumb mixture.
3. Cook the Chicken: Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook the breaded chicken breasts for 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and cooked through.
4. Add Cheese: Place the cooked chicken on a baking tray. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese over each piece.
5. Bake: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the chicken for 5-7 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and garnish with chopped parsley. Serve warm.
Notes: Pair this cheesy breaded chicken with mashed potatoes or a side salad for a complete meal. For extra flavor, add a pinch of chili flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
