Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
½ cup all-purpose flour (or chickpea flour for a gluten-free option)
2 large eggs
1 cup seasoned breadcrumbs (Panko works best for extra crunch)
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
Salt and pepper to taste
1 teaspoon paprika (optional for additional flavor)
2 tablespoons olive oil (or melted butter for richness)
Lemon wedges for serving
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of parchment paper and pound to about ½ inch thick for even cooking.
Set up your breading station: pour flour into the first bowl, beat eggs in the second, and mix breadcrumbs with garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, salt, and pepper in the third.
Dip a piece of chicken into the flour, then into the egg mixture, and finally coat it in the breadcrumb mixture. Repeat with remaining chicken.
Drizzle a baking sheet with olive oil or melted butter and place the breaded chicken in a single layer. Bake for 15 minutes, then flip and bake for another 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and serve with lemon wedges.
