How to Make Baked Panko Chicken Parmesan

  1. Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, whisk 2 large eggs.
  3. In a separate shallow dish, combine 1 ½ cups panko bread crumbs, ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese, ¼ cup grated Pecorino Romano cheese, 1 teaspoon dried oregano, 1 teaspoon dried basil, ½ teaspoon garlic powder, ¼ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper.
  4. Dip each chicken breast (about 4, 6 oz each) in the egg, then dredge in the panko mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Repeat the egg and panko dipping process for an extra crispy coating.
  5. Place the breaded chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
  6. Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the breading is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Serve immediately over your favorite pasta with marinara sauce and fresh mozzarella cheese. Alternatively, place the chicken on a hoagie roll with marinara sauce and mozzarella for a delicious chicken parmesan sub.
  8. Serve with extra marinara sauce or ranch dressing for dipping.
