Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Chicken breasts
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon Dried parsley
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- Cooking spray
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with foil and lightly coat it with cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, mix the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried parsley, salt, and ground black pepper.
In a separate small bowl, combine melted butter and olive oil.
Dip each chicken breast into the butter-oil mixture, ensuring it is fully coated.
Press each butter-coated chicken breast into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, making sure to cover it thoroughly on both sides.
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.
For OAMC: If you plan to freeze this dish, let the baked chicken cool completely, then wrap each piece tightly in plastic wrap and foil. Label and store in airtight freezer bags for up to 3 months. To reheat, thaw overnight in the refrigerator and warm in a 350°F oven for 10-15 minutes or until heated through.
