Step-by-Step Instructions

  2. In a medium bowl, combine salt, pepper, Italian seasoning, minced garlic, and olive oil, mixing well.
  3. In another bowl, mix together grated Parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs until evenly combined.
  4. Take the seasoned chicken breasts and dip each one into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to ensure adherence.
