Ingredients
Instructions
Notes
- Pound the Chicken Evenly: For quicker and more even cooking, pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness using a meat mallet or rolling pin.
- Prevent Soggy Coating: To keep the crust crispy, pat the chicken dry with paper towels before dipping it into the egg wash.
- Customize the Veggies: Don’t limit yourself to just one veggie—mix and match! Sweet potatoes, bell peppers, or Brussels sprouts are great additions.
- Go for Fresh Parmesan: Freshly grated Parmesan cheese melts better and has a more intense flavor than pre-shredded versions.
- Use a Meat Thermometer: To ensure perfectly cooked chicken, use a meat thermometer and check for an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- Broil for Extra Crispiness: If you like a golden, crispy topping, switch the oven to broil for the last 1-2 minutes, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.
Notes
- Meal Prep Tip: This dish reheats beautifully. Store leftovers in an airtight container and reheat in the oven or air fryer to keep the crust crispy.
- Make it Gluten-Free: Use gluten-free breadcrumbs or almond flour for the coating.
- Time Saver: Pre-cut veggies or buy pre-trimmed broccoli and green beans to cut down prep time.
