First Step: Preheat the oven and prepare pan

Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent the chicken from sticking.

Second Step: Prepare the crust mixture

In a shallow dish, combine grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well to evenly distribute the flavors.

Third Step: Prepare the egg wash

In a separate bowl, beat the eggs thoroughly to create an adhesive layer for the crust to stick to the chicken breasts.

Fourth Step: Coat the chicken breasts

Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated. Then, press both sides firmly into the parmesan breadcrumb mixture to form a thick, even crust.

Fifth Step: Bake the chicken

Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the baking sheet in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the crust is golden brown and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).

Sixth Step: Rest before serving

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes to allow the juices to redistribute, keeping the chicken moist and tender.

Final Step: Serve and enjoy

Serve the parmesan crusted chicken breast with a light salad or roasted vegetables for a balanced meal. For dietary variations, adapt the crust and binding ingredients accordingly before baking.
