Instructions
Step 1: Prep the Chicken
Pound chicken breasts to even thickness for even cooking. Season with salt and pepper.
Step 2: Make the Parmesan Coating
Combine parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, and salt & pepper in a shallow dish. Mix well.
Step 3: Coat the Chicken
Dip each chicken breast in beaten eggs, letting excess drip off. Coat thoroughly in the parmesan mixture, pressing to adhere.

Heat cooking oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Fry chicken for 5-6 minutes per side, until golden brown and cooked through. Adjust heat as needed.
Step 5: Serve & Enjoy!
Remove chicken and place on a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve immediately with your favorite sides, like mashed potatoes or a salad.
Keto & Low-Carb Variations
For a keto or low-carb version, substitute breadcrumbs with crushed pork rinds or almond flour. Use a keto-friendly oil like avocado or coconut oil.
