Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/4 cup chicken broth
- 1/4 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the flour, salt, black pepper, oregano, and garlic powder.
- In another bowl, beat the eggs until smooth.
- In a third bowl, mix the breadcrumbs with the Parmesan cheese.
- Dredge each chicken breast in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
- Dip the floured chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing excess to drip off.
- Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture for an even coating.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.
- Cook the chicken breasts until golden brown on each side, about 3-4 minutes per side.
- Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
- While the chicken bakes, prepare the garlic butter sauce by melting butter in a small saucepan and sautéing minced garlic.
- Stir in chicken broth and lemon juice, simmering for 3-4 minutes.
- Remove chicken from the oven, transfer to a serving platter, and pour the garlic butter sauce over it. Garnish with fresh parsley.
- Serve hot and enjoy!
Notes
For extra flavor, consider using fresh Italian-style breadcrumbs. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes to keep it moist.
