Parmesan-Crusted Chicken


Be sure to use Japanese bread crumbs (panko). These have a much bigger flake than traditional crumbs and make a crisper coating.

Serving: 4





  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

  • 1 cup whole wheat panko bread crumbs

  • 1 teaspoon parsley

  • 3 tablespoons olive oil

  • 8 thin-sliced skinless, boneless chicken breasts




  • In a large bowl, combine the cheese, bread crumbs and parsley. Add a generous amount of salt (or garlic salt) and pepper.

    In a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the olive oil. Place one piece of chicken at a time into the Parmesan mixture and coat with the crumbs. Add 2 to 3 chicken pieces to the pan at a time; don't crowd. Cook for about 4 minutes per side. Season with additional salt and pepper. Serve with mashed sweet potatoes if you like.

    I've been using the Ian's brand of whole wheat panko and I didn't think it was that expensive.

    I found the Ian's brand and it was either $4.39 or $4.89 for the container. To me thats expensive but like so many healthy options, well worth it.

    Kathy, I love parm on chix breasts, try it with garlic and lemon slices and lemon jce. I sautee garlic in olice oil, add the breasts with lemon jce, white wine, lemon slices, parmeson on the breasts. I have run them under the broiler at times. I love the garlic, lemon, parmeson tastes. Yum. Leila
