DESCRIPTION

Pounded to an even thickness, these chicken breasts are crusted with Parmesan-seasoned breadcrumbs and baked to crispy, crunchy perfection.


Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, pounded to 1/4-inch thick
  • 1 cup all-purpose flour
  • 1 tsp. salt
  • 1 tsp. black pepper
  • 1/2 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1/2 tsp. paprika

  6. Bake for 20 minutes or until an instant read thermometer registers 165ËšF.
  7. Serve with buttered noodles and green salad with a simple vinaigrette.
