A little lemon keeps the dish bright, while Parmesan and feta add salty, cheesy flavor. It’s perfect for a family dinner, a relaxed Sunday meal, or any night when you want something hearty but still fresh.

Ingredients

• 4 boneless chicken breasts
• 1½ pounds baby potatoes
• 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup flour
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 tablespoons melted butter
• 3 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
• 1 lemon, sliced

Instructions

Preheat the oven to 400°F. Lightly grease a large baking dish or sheet pan.

Add the baby potatoes to the pan. Toss them with olive oil, salt, pepper, and paprika until well coated. Roast for 20 minutes, until they begin to soften and turn golden.

While the potatoes roast, prepare the chicken. Place the flour in one shallow bowl and the beaten eggs in another. In a third bowl, mix the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and Italian seasoning.

Coat each chicken breast in flour, dip it into the eggs, then press it into the panko mixture until fully covered.

Carefully remove the pan from the oven. Nestle the breaded chicken among the potatoes.

Mix the melted butter with the minced garlic, then drizzle it over the chicken.

Return the pan to the oven and bake for 22 to 25 minutes, until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is crisp and golden.

During the last 5 minutes of baking, sprinkle the feta cheese and parsley over the chicken.

Serve hot with lemon slices and a little extra parsley on top.

Presentation

For a beautiful serving, place each crispy chicken breast on a plate with roasted potatoes tucked alongside it. Add lemon slices around the dish for color and freshness.

A final sprinkle of parsley and feta makes everything look bright, rustic, and inviting. Serve with a simple green salad if you want something fresh on the side.
