Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably Italian-style)

1/2 cup all-purpose flour

2 large eggs

1 cup buttermilk

1 tablespoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

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

Salt and black pepper to taste

Olive oil cooking spray

Instructions
 

Preparation of Chicken: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Place the chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap. Use a meat mallet or rolling pin to pound them to an even thickness, about 1/2 inch thick.

    Set Up Your Breading Station: In three separate shallow dishes, set up your breading station:

      - In the first dish, combine the flour with salt and pepper.

        - In the second dish, whisk together the eggs and buttermilk until well combined.

          - In the third dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian herbs.

            Coat the Chicken:

              - Begin by dredging a chicken breast in the seasoned flour, shaking off any excess.

                - Next, dip the floured chicken into the egg mixture, ensuring it's fully coated.

                  - Finally, press the chicken into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, making sure to coat both sides well. Repeat with all chicken breasts.

                    Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil spray to ensure they crisp up beautifully in the oven. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).

                      Serving Suggestion: Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. This dish pairs beautifully with a side of garlic mashed potatoes and steamed green beans for a complete meal.
