Ingredients
Scale
- 2 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (5–6 ounces each)
- 2 large eggs
- 2 tablespoons milk (non-dairy optional)
- 1 cup breadcrumbs (gluten-free optional)
- 1/4 cup shredded parmesan cheese
- Olive oil cooking spray
- 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
- 2 teaspoons garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon chili powder
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Slice each chicken breast in half lengthwise and pound to about 1/4 inch thick for even cooking.
- In one dish, whisk together eggs, milk, salt, and pepper. In another dish, combine breadcrumbs with parmesan cheese and seasonings.
- Dip each chicken cutlet into the egg mixture first, followed by the breadcrumb mix until well-coated.
- Place coated cutlets on the baking sheet and spray lightly with olive oil. Bake for 17-20 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F). Flip halfway through baking for even crispiness.
