- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

- Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat.

- Remove from oven and let rest for 5 minutes before slicing.
Notes
- For extra flavor, marinate the chicken in buttermilk for a few hours before breading.
- Try adding herbs like thyme or rosemary to the breadcrumb mixture.
- Serve with a side of marinara sauce for dipping.
