Ingredients
- 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
- 1 large egg
- ½ cup milk
- 2 cups bread crumbs
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon poultry seasoning
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- ½ teaspoon ground black pepper
- ⅓ cup salted butter melted
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper and set aside.
- In a medium bowl, beat together the egg and milk.
- In a large bowl, mix together the bread crumbs, paprika, garlic powder, poultry seasoning, parsley, salt, and pepper.
- Dip the chicken breasts into the egg/milk mixture then into the crumb mixture being sure to coat each piece with crumbs.
- Place the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle the melted butter over the top of the chicken.
- Bake for 22 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken has an internal temperature of 165°F. Allow your chicken to rest for about 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- You can drizzle olive oil over the chicken in place of butter.
- You can also add other spices to the chicken breast seasoning like onion powder, celery salt, oregano, basil, or chili powder for a spicy kick.
- Chicken thighs can be used in place of chicken breast, but it’ll change the cooking time.
- Enjoy these with your favorite dipping sauces like ketchup, BBQ sauce, or maple mustard sauce.
- Another idea is to melt a piece of mozzarella cheese on top. Add some fresh grated Parmesan and marinara sauce for an easy chicken Parmesan dish!
