I'm too lazy to fry chicken the traditional way. I've experimented with chili powder, Greek seasoning etc. in place of the paprika or poultry seasoning. Try what you like.

OVEN-FRIED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH NEW POTATOES
I like to par boil the potatoes and place them in the baking pan along with the chicken. They can easily be butter tossed and seasoned after they roast. Also, I have found that 1/2 a cup of bread crumbs isn't enough to well cover 4 breasts.

Steps:
- Pre-heat oven to 375 degree. Lightly coat a baking dish or sheet with cooking spray. Combine first 5 ingredients in a shallow bowl. Dip each chicken breast in the beaten eggs and then coat both sides with the bread crumb mixture. Arrange the chicken breasts on a baking sheet. Bake for 35-40 minutes.
Tips:
- Use a meat thermometer to ensure that the chicken is cooked to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
- For crispy chicken, make sure the chicken is dry before coating it in the breading.
- Use a wire rack to place the chicken on so that the air can circulate around it and cook it evenly.
- If you don't have a wire rack, you can use a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Be careful not to overcrowd the chicken on the baking sheet or wire rack. This will prevent it from cooking evenly.
- For extra crispy chicken, spray the chicken with cooking spray before baking.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite dipping sauce, such as ranch dressing, honey mustard, or barbecue sauce.
