Ingredients
  

Chicken and Coating
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts (about 6 to 8 ounces each) Pound the breasts to 1/2 inch thickness.
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs Plain or panko for extra crunch.
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese Divided.
  • 1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese Use low-moisture variety.
  • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour Can substitute gluten-free flour.
  • 2 large eggs Whisked.
  • 1/4 cup milk Used in egg mixture.
  • 2 cloves garlic Minced or substitute with 1/2 tsp garlic powder.
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil For pan-searing.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F.
  2. Set up three shallow dishes: Put flour in the first, whisk eggs and milk in the second, and combine breadcrumbs, half of the Parmesan, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in the third.
  3. Pound each chicken breast to about 1/2 inch thickness between plastic wrap or in a zip-top bag.
Dredging and Searing
  1. Dredge each breast in flour, shaking off excess. Dip into egg mixture, letting excess drip back. Press into breadcrumb mixture until well coated.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Cook chicken for 3 to 4 minutes per side until golden brown, working in batches if necessary.
Baking
  1. Transfer browned chicken to a baking dish. Mix remaining Parmesan with mozzarella and minced garlic, then sprinkle evenly over each breast.
  2. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes until cheese is melted and chicken is cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F).
  3. Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For best results, use low-moisture mozzarella to prevent excess water. Can substitute breadcrumbs and flour for gluten-free options. If the topping browns too quickly, tent with foil.
