Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup bread crumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 2 large eggs
- 1/4 cup milk
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- In one dish, mix the breadcrumbs, half of the Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- In another dish, beat the eggs with milk until combined.

For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in Italian dressing for a few hours before cooking. Consider using panko breadcrumbs for a crunchier texture.
