Easy Breaded Baked Chicken Breast

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Lightly grease the lined baking sheet with cooking spray to prevent the chicken from sticking.

2. In a shallow bowl, mix together the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper until well combined. This will be your breading mixture.

3. Place the beaten eggs in another shallow bowl. This will be used to coat the chicken before dipping it in the breading mixture.

4. Take one chicken breast at a time and dip it into the beaten eggs, making sure it is fully coated. Allow any excess egg to drip off before transferring the chicken breast to the breading mixture.

5. Press the chicken breast into the breading mixture, ensuring it is evenly coated on all sides. Gently pat the breading onto the chicken breast to help it adhere.

6. Place the breaded chicken breast onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat the process with the remaining chicken breasts.

7. Lightly spray the tops of the breaded chicken breasts with cooking spray. This will help them turn golden and crispy in the oven.

8. Bake the chicken breasts in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.

9. Once done, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the chicken breasts to rest for a few minutes before serving.

10. Serve the Easy Breaded Baked Chicken Breast with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. Enjoy the crispy, flavorful goodness!
