Equipment

Method
 

  1. Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease.

  3. In another bowl, whisk eggs until smooth.
  4. Dip chicken breasts into eggs, then press into breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly.

  6. Add chicken and sear 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown.
  7. Transfer chicken to baking sheet and bake 15–20 minutes until internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  8. Garnish with parsley and optional lemon wedges. Serve immediately.
