Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced
- 1 cup Parmesan cheese, grated
- 1 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably Italian seasoned)
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 teaspoon Dried Italian seasoning
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.
In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and dried Italian seasoning.
In another shallow bowl, mix together the melted butter and minced garlic.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dip each piece into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring both sides are coated, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture until evenly coated.
Place the breaded chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle each breast lightly with olive oil to help with browning.
Bake in the preheated oven for 22-25 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden and crispy.
Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes. This ensures the juices redistribute and the chicken remains moist.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired and serve warm with your favorite sides such as roasted vegetables, salad, or mashed potatoes.
