Step-by-Step Instructions
To begin making my Parmesan Crusted Chicken, I preheat my oven to 400°F (200°C). This ensures that the chicken will cook evenly while also getting that perfect golden-brown crust. While the oven is warming up, I mix the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish. This crispy coating is what gives the chicken that irresistible crunch. In another bowl, I whisk together the eggs until they are smooth and blended. The egg wash is crucial for helping our crumb mixture stick to the chicken. (See the next page below to continue steps…)
