Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Italian seasoned bread crumbs
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Mix the dry ingredients: In a large bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.
- Add the butter: Drizzle the melted butter over the breadcrumb mixture. Stir everything until evenly coated.
- Coat the chicken: Take each chicken breast and dip it into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks well. Place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake: Cook in the oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is fully cooked (165°F/75°C internally) and the coating is golden brown.
- Cool slightly: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
For extra crunch, substitute half of the breadcrumbs with crushed cornflakes or panko breadcrumbs. Always let the chicken rest after baking for juiciness.
