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.
