Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 2 cloves garlic (minced)
- 1 cup dry bread crumbs
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 teaspoon dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon salt
- 0.25 teaspoon pepper
- 1 as needed cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet with cooking spray or line it with parchment paper.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter and stir in the minced garlic. Set aside to cool slightly.
In a separate shallow dish, mix together the dry bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried parsley, salt, and pepper.
Dip each chicken breast into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring it is well coated. Then press it into the breadcrumb mixture, making sure it is evenly coated on all sides.
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet. Pour any leftover garlic butter mixture evenly over the chicken pieces.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the coating is golden brown and the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving. Enjoy your crunchy garlic chicken with your favorite sides!
