Looking for a delicious and easy weeknight dinner idea or the perfect chicken to pair with your pasta? Look no further than crispy panko parmesan chicken! This mouth-watering dish is sure to become a family favorite with its crispy exterior and juicy, tender interior.

The key to making the perfect crispy panko parmesan chicken is in the breading.

To take this dish to the next level, we'll also be adding parmesan cheese to the breadcrumb mixture for added flavor and depth.
