Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup Italian breadcrumbs

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1/4 cup milk

1 tsp garlic powder

1 tsp onion powder

1/2 tsp black pepper

1/2 tsp salt

1/2 tsp paprika

1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Olive oil (for frying)

Lemon wedges (for serving)

Instructions
 

Prep the Chicken: Begin by flattening the chicken breasts to an even thickness for uniform cooking. Place them between two sheets of plastic wrap and pound them with a meat mallet until they are about 1 inch thick.

    Create the Coating Stations: Set up three shallow dishes.

      - In the first dish, combine the flour, garlic powder, onion powder, salt, pepper, and paprika.

        - In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and milk until well blended.

          - In the third dish, mix the grated Parmesan cheese and Italian breadcrumbs together.

            Bread the Chicken: Dredge each chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip the chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it is fully coated. Finally, coat the chicken in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to adhere the mixture to the chicken.

              Cook the Chicken: In a large skillet, heat about 1/4 inch of olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, carefully add the breaded chicken breasts to the skillet. Cook for about 5-7 minutes on each side, or until golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 75°C). If needed, cook in batches to avoid overcrowding the pan.

                Drain and Serve: Once cooked, place the chicken on a plate lined with paper towels to drain any excess oil.

                  Garnish and Plate: Serve the Parmesan Chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley and lemon wedges on the side for drizzling.
