Serves: 4

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 tbsp dried Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs
  • ½ tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp dried parsley
  • ⅛ tsp paprika
  • ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts (¼ lb each)

Instructions

  1. Prep: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or use a nonstick sheet.
  2. Coating Mix: In a resealable plastic bag, combine Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, parsley, paprika, and pepper. Shake well to blend.
  3. Coat Chicken: Pour the mixture onto a plate. Press each chicken breast into the coating, turning to coat both sides evenly.
  4. Bake: Place chicken on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20–25 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the crust is golden.
  5. Serve: Let rest for 2–3 minutes before serving.

Tips: For extra crispiness, lightly spray the coated chicken with olive oil before baking.
