INGREDIENTS
5 oz Chicken Breast (142g)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan Cheese (28g)
1/3 cup Panko Breadcrumbs (30g)
1 large Egg
1/4 tsp Salt
1/4 tsp Black Pepper
Cooking Spray
PREPARATION
Preheat your oven to 400°F and prepare a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly sprayed with cooking spray.
Place chicken breast on a cutting board and, if necessary, pound gently to even thickness for uniform cooking.
In a shallow bowl, whisk the egg until well combined.
In another shallow dish, mix the panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, salt, and pepper.
Dip the chicken into the beaten egg ensuring it is fully coated, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure to coat both sides thoroughly.
Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Lightly spritz the top of the chicken with cooking spray to help achieve extra crispiness.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden and crisp. Check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
