Finding recipe with low to no carbs is difficult and then add no frying too. Now that's a challenge. After purchasing an air fryer oven, we can have the best of both worlds and not hurt our diet plan. There is a lot of flavor in this recipe. Chicken strips also work great for this recipe.

Baked Parmesan Chicken

4 pieces of chicken

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

2 teaspoons garlic powder

1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 teaspoon kosher salt

2 eggs + 2 tablespoons milk

1 cup Panko breadcrumbs

3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

 Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Cover a baking sheet with foil or parchment paper.

In a shallow dish, combine flour, black pepper, salt, garlic powder and Italian seasoning.

In another shallow dish, whisk together eggs and milk.

In a third shallow dish, combine Panko breadcrumbs and Parmesan cheese.

Pat chicken dry with a paper towel.

Set up assembly line to coat chicken in this order: flour, eggs, Panko. First dredge chicken in the flour mixture, then in the eggs and then coat with the Panko/Parmesan mixture. Once coated, arrange on the prepared baking sheet.

Spray tops of chicken with nonstick cooking spray.

Bake for 35-40 minutes or until crispy and golden brown and cooked through. If the tops aren't brown enough for your taste, flip on the broiler for a few minutes; careful not to let them burn.
