Oven-Baked Crispy Breaded Chicken Fillets

Ingredients:

Instructions:

1. Preheat oven and prepare baking tray: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
2. Prepare flour coating: In a shallow dish, combine the all-purpose flour with a pinch of salt and pepper.
3. Prepare egg wash: In another shallow dish, beat the eggs until smooth.
4. Prepare breadcrumb coating: In a third shallow dish, mix the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, paprika, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
5. Coat the chicken: Dip each chicken fillet into the flour, shaking off any excess. Then, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. Finally, dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even coating.
6. Arrange on baking tray: Place the breaded chicken fillets on the prepared baking tray.
7. Drizzle with oil: Drizzle the olive oil evenly over the breaded chicken fillets.
8. Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
9. Rest and serve: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
