# How to Prepare:
01 -
Preheat oven to 200°C. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease with oil.
02 -
Position chicken breasts between two sheets of plastic wrap or parchment and gently pound with a meat mallet to an even 1.5 cm thickness.
03 -
Combine flour, salt, black pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a shallow bowl and mix thoroughly.
04 -
In a second bowl, whisk the egg and water until homogeneous.
05 -
Mix grated Parmesan, Italian-style breadcrumbs, and panko in a third shallow bowl.
06 -
Coat each chicken breast evenly in the flour mixture, shaking off any excess.
07 -
Submerge floured chicken into the egg wash until fully coated.
08 -
Press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring an even, thorough coating on all sides.
09 -
Heat vegetable oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Once shimmering, carefully add breaded chicken and shallow-fry for 4–5 minutes per side until golden brown and crisp.
10 -
Move browned chicken breasts to the prepared baking sheet.
11 -
Evenly distribute shredded mozzarella atop each chicken breast.
12 -
Bake in the preheated oven for 8–10 minutes, or until cheese melts and the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 75°C.
13 -
Drizzle melted butter over each chicken breast immediately after baking.
14 -
Scatter chopped parsley across the finished chicken and serve hot with preferred accompaniments.
# Extra Tips:
01 -
Bring chicken to room temperature before cooking for even doneness.
02 -
Store leftovers in an airtight container; reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
03 -
Ensure the chicken is pounded to uniform thickness for consistent cooking and maximum juiciness.
