Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Dry breadcrumbs
- 0.33 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
Place the chicken breasts in between two sheets of plastic wrap and gently pound them to an even thickness of about 1/2 inch.
Rub each chicken breast with about 1 tablespoon of olive oil to coat evenly.
In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Press each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring it is well coated on all sides. Shake off excess breadcrumbs if necessary.
Arrange the breaded chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer.
Drizzle the remaining olive oil evenly over the tops of the chicken to help them crisp up during baking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the breadcrumbs are golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Serve the Chicken Oreganata with lemon wedges on the side for a bright, tangy finish. Enjoy!
