Ingredients

• 3-4 chicken breasts, not frozen
• 1/2 tsp garlic powder
• Salt & pepper to taste
• 1/4 cup flour
• 2 eggs
• 2/3 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
• 1/2 heaping teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 3 tbsp olive oil divided

Instructions

1. Preheat the oven to 400F. Position the rack in the top third of the oven.
2. Cut the chicken in half lengthwise so you have 4 thinner pieces. Pat the chicken dry with paper towel. Sprinkle it with the garlic powder and some salt & pepper on both sides.
3. Prepare 3 bowls: one with the flour, one with the eggs (beat them with a fork), and the third with the panko/parmesan/Italian seasoning (mix it all together).
4. Add 2 tablespoons of olive oil to an oven-proof skillet over medium heat. Let the pan heat up while you're working on the chicken in the next step.
5. Meanwhile, coat the chicken pieces in the flour. Then dip each piece in the egg, followed by the breadcrumb mixture (shake off any excess at each of the 3 steps).
6. Add 2 of the chicken pieces to the skillet and cook for around 2-3 minutes/side until golden. Flip to insure cooking on both sides; Transfer the chicken to a plate, and for the second batch, add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil to the skillet. Once you've cooked all the chicken, take the skillet off the heat and arrange all 4 pieces inside. Transfer the skillet to the oven and cook for 5 minutes or until cooked through
7. Enjoy!
