Method
Chicken Preparation
Prepare the Chicken
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap and pound them to an even thickness of about 1 inch. This helps them cook evenly.
Season the Chicken
In a small bowl, mix together salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika. Rub this seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of the chicken breasts.
Breading Mixture
Set Up Breading Station
In three separate shallow bowls, set up your breading station: one with flour, one with beaten eggs, and one with a mixture of panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, and dried Italian herbs.
Bread the Chicken
Dip each seasoned chicken breast first into the flour, shaking off any excess, then into the beaten eggs, and finally into the panko mixture. Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they adhere well.
Cooking
Bake the Chicken
In a large oven-proof skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the breaded chicken breasts in a single layer. Sear for about 3-4 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Finish Cooking in Oven
Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
Serve
Remove the skillet from the oven, let the chicken rest for a few minutes, then serve hot with your choice of sides.
