  • ½ cup Panko breadcrumbs
  • ½ cup grated parmesan
  • ½ teaspoon garlic powder
  • 2 eggs
  • 1 tablespoon flour

  • ½ cup grated mozzarella cheese
  • ¼ cup grated parmesan cheese
  • ¼ cup pepperoni
  • salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°.
  • Salt and pepper chicken breasts on both sides.
  • Combine breadcrumbs, ½ cup grated parmesan, garlic powder in a shallow bowl.
  • Put two eggs and 1 tablespoon flour into a shallow bowl and whisk.
  • Heat 2 tablespoon olive oil in a skillet over medium-high heat.
  • Dip chicken pieces in egg mixture letting excess drip off.
  • Dip into flour mixture, shaking extra off and put into hot pan.
  • Do not move, let it brown 2-3 minutes on each side.
