Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 4 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves (minced)
- 2 teaspoons Dried oregano
- 3 tablespoons Lime juice (freshly squeezed)
- 1 teaspoon Lime zest
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
- 0.3333 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish large enough to fit the chicken breasts in a single layer.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels, then season both sides with salt and black pepper.
In a small bowl, mix the olive oil, minced garlic, dried oregano, lime juice, and lime zest. Stir well to create a marinade.
Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and pour the marinade evenly over them. Turn the chicken breasts once to ensure they are well-coated.
In a separate bowl, combine the breadcrumbs and grated Parmesan cheese. Mix until evenly combined.
Sprinkle the breadcrumb mixture evenly over the chicken breasts, pressing lightly to adhere.
Bake the chicken in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the breadcrumb topping is golden brown and crispy.
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley and serve with extra lime wedges on the side for squeezing over the chicken.
