1-Getting started: Getting started with this crispy chicken Parmesan garlic is as simple as setting up your kitchen. Begin by preheating your oven to 375 degrees and lining a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper for easy cleanup. This step ensures your chicken bakes evenly and comes out perfectly crispy every time.

2-Next: Next, mix the flour, black pepper, salt, garlic powder, and Italian seasoning in a shallow dish to create a flavorful base. In another dish, whisk the eggs and milk together for a smooth binding layer. Then, in a third dish, combine the Panko breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese for that irresistible crunch.

3-Pat the chicken dry: Pat the chicken dry, then dredge each piece in the flour mixture, dip it into the egg mixture, and coat it thoroughly with the Panko and Parmesan blend. Arrange the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet and give the tops a spritz of nonstick cooking spray to help them brown nicely. Bake for 35-40 minutes until the chicken is golden, crispy, and fully cooked through, checking with a meat thermometer to reach 165 degrees F.

4-If you want an extra touch of color: If you want an extra touch of color, broil for a couple of minutes at the end, but keep a close eye to prevent burning. Finish by garnishing with fresh chopped parsley and serving with lemon wedges for a bright, zesty flavor. For more chicken ideas, you might enjoy an turkey carcass soup that uses similar techniques.
