Ingredients

Here is a list of ingredients you will need to create Crispy Cheddar Chicken:

– 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
– 1 cup all-purpose flour
– 2 large eggs
– 2 cups breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)
– 1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
– 1 teaspoon paprika
– 1 teaspoon garlic powder
– Salt and pepper to taste
– 1/2 cup cooking oil (for frying)
– Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)


Instructions

Creating Crispy Cheddar Chicken is straightforward if you follow these steps:

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper.
2. Set up a breading station by placing the flour in one bowl, whisked eggs in another, and a mixture of breadcrumbs, cheddar cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a third bowl.
3. Take each chicken breast and coat it first in flour, shaking off any excess.
4. Dip the chicken into the beaten eggs, ensuring it is fully coated.
5. Finally, dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to ensure an even coating.
6. In a large skillet, heat the cooking oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the chicken breasts, cooking for about 4-5 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.
7. After browning, transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.
8. Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
9. Once cooked, remove from the oven and allow to rest for a few minutes before serving.
10. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.

These steps will guide you effortlessly through the cooking process to achieve perfect Crispy Cheddar Chicken!
