Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (Panko preferred for extra crunch)

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs, beaten

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

Salt and pepper to taste

1/4 cup olive oil

Juice of 1 lemon

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

    Prepare the Breading Stations: Set up three shallow bowls. In the first bowl, add the flour seasoned with salt and pepper. In the second bowl, beat the eggs together. In the third bowl, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, and Italian seasoning.

      Coat the Chicken:

        - Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off the excess.

          - Dip it into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off.

            - Finally, coat the chicken in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing down slightly to adhere well.

              Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts, cooking for about 3-4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. You may need to do this in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

                Bake: Once all chicken breasts are seared, place them on the prepared baking sheet. Drizzle with lemon juice and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C) and the chicken is cooked through.

                  Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

                    Enjoy: Serve hot with a side of your favorite vegetables, pasta, or a fresh salad!
