Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

  • Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish to prevent sticking.
  • Prepare the Crust Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, dried basil, dried oregano, salt, and pepper. Mix until well blended.
  • Coat the Chicken: Brush each chicken breast with olive oil, ensuring an even coating to help the crust adhere.
  • Apply the Parmesan Mixture: Press the Parmesan mixture firmly onto each chicken breast, covering both sides evenly.
  • Arrange the Chicken: Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer, ensuring they do not overlap.
  • Bake: Bake for 25 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F and the crust is golden brown and crispy.
  • Rest and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 2-3 minutes. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving. Serve warm with your favorite sides.

Notes

  • You can substitute the breadcrumbs with panko for an even crispier texture.
  • Feel free to adjust the seasoning to your preference by adding more garlic or herbs.
  • For a richer flavor, try using freshly grated Parmesan cheese.
