PARMESAN CHICKEN 🍗
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup bread crumbs
1/2 cup all-purpose flour
2 large eggs
1/4 cup milk
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons olive oil
Directions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
In a shallow bowl, mix the grated Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
In another shallow bowl, whisk together the flour, minced garlic, eggs, and milk until smooth.
Coat each chicken breast in the flour mixture, then press it into the Parmesan-bread crumb mixture to fully coat.
Heat olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium heat.
Cook the coated chicken breasts for 3-4 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
Sprinkle shredded mozzarella cheese evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the cheese is melted and bubbly.
Remove from the oven and let rest for a few minutes before serving.
