Ingredients
  

  • 4 chicken cutlets boneless, skinless
  • 1 cup breadcrumbs preferably Italian-style
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese grated
  • 2 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried oregano
  • 1/2 tsp salt
  • 1/4 tsp black pepper
  • 2 eggs beaten
  • 2 tbsp olive oil for drizzling or spraying

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or foil. Lightly grease it with cooking spray or a bit of olive oil.
  • In a shallow bowl, combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, oregano, salt, and pepper.
  • Dip each chicken cutlet into the beaten eggs, then dredge in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
  • Place breaded cutlets on the prepared baking sheet and drizzle or spray lightly with olive oil.
  • Bake for 20–25 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temp of 165°F/74°C).

Notes

For extra crispiness, finish under the broiler for 2 minutes. Try serving with lemon wedges or a light marinara sauce.
