This crispy and juicy chicken is coated in a garlic Parmesan crust and baked to perfection. A flavorful and easy dinner that’s sure to be a hit!
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (Panko works well for extra crunch)
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
Salt and pepper, to taste
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tbsp olive oil
Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Directions:
• Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
• Prepare the coating: In a bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
• Coat the chicken: Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil and then press them into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are well-coated.
• Bake the chicken: Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
• Drizzle the melted butter over the chicken for extra richness and flavor.
• Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165°F or 74°C).
• Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm!
