Description

Garlic Parmesan Chicken is a comforting and flavorful baked chicken dish featuring juicy boneless, skinless chicken breasts coated in a crispy mixture of Parmesan cheese, Italian breadcrumbs, and aromatic herbs. The chicken is brushed with garlic-infused melted butter, baked to golden perfection, and garnished with fresh parsley for an easy weeknight dinner that the whole family will love.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Breading Mixture

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup Italian breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

Garlic Butter

  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Garnish

  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it or lining with parchment to prevent sticking.
  2. Mix Breading: In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried oregano, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to evenly distribute the seasonings.
  3. Prepare Garlic Butter: In another bowl, mix the melted unsalted butter with the minced garlic to create a flavorful coating for the chicken.
  4. Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the garlic butter mixture, making sure they are well coated, then dredge them thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture to form a crispy crust.
  5. Bake: Place the coated chicken breasts in a single layer in the baking dish. Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
  6. Garnish and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven, sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, and serve immediately while hot.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, lightly spray the coated chicken with cooking spray before baking.
  • Ensure chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking; consider pounding them gently if needed.
  • Internal temperature for fully cooked chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
  • Can be served with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
