Empanizados Ingredients

Method

Cooking Directions

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Butterfly the chicken breasts if they are thick and season them with salt, pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

  2. 2

    Set Up Breading Station

    In three separate bowls, place the flour, beaten eggs, and breadcrumbs. Make sure to season the breadcrumbs with a pinch of salt and pepper.

  3. 3

    Bread the Chicken

    Coat each chicken breast in flour, shaking off the excess. Dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's fully covered, and then press it into the breadcrumbs until well coated.

  4. 4

    Bake the Empanizados

    Place the breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle olive oil over the top of the chicken. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until golden brown and cooked through.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve hot with your favorite dipping sauce or salad.
