Method

Step-by-Step Instructions

Preheat your oven to 400°F, positioning an oven rack in the top third of the oven.
Slice chicken breasts lengthwise into cutlets and season with garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Create a three-bowl setup for breading: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.
Heat olive oil in an oven-proof skillet over medium heat.
Dredge each chicken cutlet in flour, then dip into beaten eggs, and finally coat with the panko mixture.
Fry chicken pieces for 2 to 3 minutes on each side until golden-brown.
Transfer the fried chicken to the oven-proof skillet and bake for an additional 5 minutes until cooked through.
Remove from the oven, let rest for a minute, and serve with fettuccine Alfredo or a salad.

Notes

Ensure the chicken is well-dried before seasoning for better breading adherence. Fry in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan, resulting in soggy chicken.
