This chicken dinner was a huge success! Thin-cut chicken breasts cook extremely fast, so this easy Italian chicken recipe was on the table in 10 minutes. No joke! The chicken was super crunchy and packed with flavor. So crunchy, in fact, that my husband and I turned up the TV so we couldn't hear each other chew. Now that's good chicken!
All you need for this pan-fried, high-protein Italian chicken recipe is thin-cut chicken breasts, dried Italian seasoning, garlic powder, parsley flakes, olive oil and panko breadcrumbs (you can use gluten-free panko). The chicken is seasoned with salt and black pepper, Italian seasoning, garlic powder and dried parsley flakes before being cooked in a little olive oil until crispy and crunchy. (Check out the health benefits of protein.)
Serve this crunchy chicken breast recipe with a vegetable and a salad. I served mine with leftover fat-burning Mediterranean salad and air-fryer carrots.

Ingredients
- thin-cut chicken breast
- dried Italian seasoning
- garlic powder
- parsley flakes
- olive oil
- panko breadcrumbs (regular or gluten-free)
Here's how to make it:
- Season one side of the chicken with salt and pepper. Liberally season the chicken with the dried Italian seasoning, garlic powder and parsley flakes. Drizzle with olive oil. Flip the chicken over and repeat. (You could use thicker chicken breasts, but it will affect cooking time.)
-
Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Put some panko onto a plate. Dredge the chicken in the panko, pressing so it sticks, then put into the hot oil. (I used about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to start, then drizzled in more when needed.)
- Cook the chicken for about 3 to 4 minutes on the first side or until very golden brown and crispy.
- Flip the chicken over and cook about 1 more minute or until cooked through and crispy on both sides. (You may need to add more olive oil during the cooking process.)
