Directions
- 1
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it to prevent sticking.

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Brush each breast lightly with olive oil, then season with garlic powder, onion powder, smoked paprika, salt, and pepper on both sides.
- 3
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add a drizzle of olive oil and sear the chicken for 2–3 minutes per side until golden brown. Transfer the chicken to the prepared baking sheet.

In a mixing bowl, combine panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, melted butter, mayonnaise, dried parsley, and garlic powder. Mix until a crumbly, well-coated texture forms.
- 5
Top each chicken breast with a generous amount of the Parmesan crust mixture, pressing lightly to adhere. Bake in the preheated oven for 20–25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).

Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with chopped parsley and serve with lemon wedges for a burst of freshness.
