Preheat & Prepare:Heat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
Mix the Coating:In a shallow dish, combine Parmesan, panko, garlic powder, Italian herbs, salt, and pepper. Whisk to blend the flavors evenly.
Prepare Egg Wash:In a separate shallow bowl, beat the eggs until smooth. This will help the coating stick perfectly to the chicken.
Coat the Chicken:Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then press both sides firmly into the breadcrumb mixture, coating evenly. Place coated breasts on the baking sheet.
Drizzle with Olive Oil:Lightly drizzle olive oil over the chicken cutlets. This will promote a golden, crispy crust as they bake
Bake the Cutlets:Place the baking sheet in the oven and bake for 20–25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the coating turns golden brown.
Add Mozzarella:Remove the baking sheet from the oven and sprinkle shredded mozzarella over each cutlet. Return to the oven for an additional 5 minutes, or until the cheese melts and bubbles.
Garnish and Serve:Sprinkle fresh parsley on top for a pop of color and fresh flavor. Serve immediately while hot and enjoy!
