For an extra crispy crust, try using panko breadcrumbs in addition to the Parmesan cheese. A 1/4 cup of panko will add a wonderful crunch. Feel free to adjust the amount of paprika to your liking. Smoked paprika can also be used for a deeper, more intense flavor. To prevent the chicken from drying out, you can pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before breading. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or your favorite grain for a complete and satisfying meal.
