Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup shredded Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup Italian-style breadcrumbs
- 1 tbsp garlic powder
- 1 tbsp Italian seasoning
- 1 tsp salt
- ½ tsp black pepper
- ¼ cup melted butter
- Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and black pepper.
- In a medium bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast in melted butter, then dredge it in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing down to ensure it coats well.
- Place the coated chicken breasts on a greased baking sheet or lined with parchment paper.
- Bake in the preheated oven for about 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
- Remove from the oven, garnish with fresh parsley if desired, and serve hot.
Notes
- For even cooking, pound chicken breasts to an even thickness before breading.
- To keep the crust extra crispy, use a wire rack on your baking sheet for better air circulation.
- For a flavor twist, mix lemon zest or crushed red pepper into the breadcrumb mixture.
- For a Gluten-Free Option, substitute breadcrumbs with almond flour or gluten-free crumbs.
- Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Reheat in the oven at 350°F (175°C) for about 10-15 minutes to maintain crispiness.
- Freeze cooked chicken individually for up to 3 months. Thaw in the refrigerator overnight before reheating.
