Ingredients
Scale
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup panko breadcrumbs
3 large garlic cloves, minced
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup melted unsalted butter
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley (optional for garnish)
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
In a bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each chicken breast in melted butter, ensuring both sides are coated.
Press the chicken into the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, coating evenly on both sides.
Place coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
Bake for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve hot.
Notes
For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes at the end of baking.
Pair with a simple side salad or roasted vegetables for a complete meal.
You can substitute panko breadcrumbs with regular breadcrumbs if necessary, but panko adds extra crunch.
