1 tablespoon olive oil, or as desired

6 chicken breasts, cut in half lengthwise (butterflied)

Salt and ground black pepper to taste

0.75 cup all-purpose flour

1 tablespoon ground paprika

2 large eggs, beaten

2 cups seasoned bread crumbs

1 large lemon, zested

Select allAdd

1. Gather all ingredients.

2. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C). Line a large baking sheet with aluminum foil; drizzle olive oil over foil. Place the baking sheet in the oven as it preheats.

3. Meanwhile, place chicken breasts between 2 sheets of plastic wrap on a solid, level surface. Firmly pound with the smooth side of a meat mallet to ¼-inch thickness. Season both sides with salt and black pepper.

4. Combine flour and paprika in a shallow bowl. Whisk eggs, salt, and black pepper together in a second shallow bowl. Combine bread crumbs and lemon zest in a third shallow bowl.

5. Dredge 1 piece chicken in flour; shake off excess. Dip into beaten egg. Lift up so excess egg drips back in the bowl. Press into bread crumbs to coat both sides. Place breaded chicken, unstacked, onto a plate. Repeat with remaining chicken.

6. Remove the baking sheet from the oven. Arrange chicken in a single layer on the hot baking sheet; drizzle more olive oil over each piece.

7. Bake in the preheated oven for 5 to 6 minutes. Flip chicken; continue baking until no longer pink in centers and the breading is lightly browned, 5 to 6 minutes more. An instant-read thermometer inserted into centers should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).

8. Serve with mashed potatoes and a nice salad.
