Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1 teaspoon smoked paprika

1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs (oregano, basil, thyme)

2 large eggs

1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

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

Olive oil spray or 2 tablespoons of melted butter

Instructions
 

Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

    Make the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, and Italian herbs. Mix until well combined.

      Egg Mixture: In another bowl, whisk together the eggs and Dijon mustard until smooth.

        Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, fully coat it in the breadcrumb-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks well.

          Bake the Chicken: Arrange the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or lightly greased. Spray the top of each piece with olive oil or brush with melted butter for that golden-brown finish.

            Cooking Time: Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy. Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C).

              Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven, and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

                  - Presentation Tips: Serve with a side of lemon wedges and a fresh green salad. Arrange the chicken on a large platter, garnished with herbs for an inviting touch.
