Directions
- 1
Season the chicken fillets with salt, crushed garlic, and lemon juice. Let rest for 10 minutes to absorb the flavors.
- 2
Lightly beat the egg white with a fork until frothy. Dip each fillet into the egg white, then coat thoroughly with breadcrumbs, pressing gently so they stick.
- 3
Lightly brush a baking dish with oil. Arrange the coated fillets in a single layer.
- 4
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 °C (350 °F) for 20 minutes. Flip each fillet and bake for an additional 10 minutes until golden and cooked through.

Serve immediately with steamed rice and a fresh green salad.
💡 Chef's Tip
For extra crunch, mix a tablespoon of grated Parmesan or a pinch of smoked paprika into the breadcrumbs. Panko breadcrumbs are a great substitute for an even crispier coating.
