About This Recipe
Okay friends — if there is one chicken recipe I could make over and over again without getting sick of it, it would be this Garlic Parmesan Chicken Recipe. I still recall the first time I made this dish — Sultan came home from work, took one bite and literally said, “This tastes like restaurant food, but better.” I mean, how could I not make it again after that kind of compliment?
This recipe is one of those meals that feel extravagant but is secretly easy. Crispy on the outside, juicy on the inside coated with the most dreamy garlic-parmesan coating you’ll ever have in your life.

Kitchen Tools for Garlic Parmesan Chicken
To make this crispy and flavorful Garlic Parmesan Chicken Recipe, you’ll need a few basics like shallow bowls, a skillet, and tongs. I’ve linked helpful kitchen tools I use often—durable and easy to clean. A microplane makes fresh Parmesan a breeze, and paper towels help get that golden crust!
Ingredients
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup breadcrumbs (Italian-style or plain)
½ cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp salt
½ tsp black pepper
2 large eggs, beaten

For the Garlic Butter Finish:
3 tbsp unsalted butter
3 garlic cloves, minced
1 tbsp chopped parsley (optional)
Extra Parmesan for topping (optional)

Pat chicken breasts dry and pound to even thickness if needed.
Step 2
In one shallow bowl, mix breadcrumbs, Parmesan, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
Step 3
In another bowl, beat the eggs.

Secret Tips
Use freshly grated Parmesan, not the shelf-stable shaker kind. It melts better and gives the crispiest crust.
To ensure that the chicken cooks evenly and maintains its juicy texture, pound it to an even thickness.
Don’t overcrowd the pan! Cook the chicken in batches if needed so you don’t steam it.
Let it rest for a few minutes before slicing to keep all those flavorful juices inside.
