Ingredients

• 4 boneless chicken breasts
• 1 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 cup flour
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• Salt and black pepper, to taste
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 4 cups mashed potatoes
• 2 cups cooked white rice
• Fresh parsley, chopped
• Mixed greens, for serving

Instructions

Start by pounding the chicken breasts until they are even in thickness. This helps them cook nicely all the way through.

Season the chicken with salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and paprika.

Set up three shallow bowls. Add flour to one, beaten eggs to the second, and breadcrumbs mixed with Parmesan to the third.

Coat each chicken breast in flour first. Dip it into the egg, then press it into the breadcrumb mixture until well covered.

Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add the chicken and cook for 5–6 minutes per side, until golden, crisp, and fully cooked.

Transfer the chicken to a plate and let it rest for 5 minutes. Then slice it into strips.

Serve the crispy chicken with mashed potatoes, white rice, and a handful of mixed greens.

Sprinkle fresh parsley over the top and enjoy warm.

Presentation

For a cozy, polished plate, spoon the mashed potatoes onto one side and fluff the rice beside it. Lay the sliced chicken over the center so the crispy coating stays visible.

Add mixed greens for freshness and color. A final sprinkle of parsley makes everything look bright and homemade.
