Description

A flavorful and easy-to-make dinner that combines the rich, savory taste of garlic and Parmesan with tender, juicy chicken breasts. This Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bake is coated with a crispy, golden crust that makes every bite irresistible.

Ingredients

Scale

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
2 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp dried oregano (optional)
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper
1/4 cup melted butter
2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

Instructions

Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Prepare the chicken: Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper on both sides.
Make the coating: In a shallow bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, and oregano.
Coat the chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, press each chicken breast into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, coating it thoroughly.
Arrange in a baking dish: Place the coated chicken breasts into a greased 9×13 baking dish.
Bake the chicken: Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the crust is golden brown.

Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve with your favorite sides like roasted vegetables or mashed potatoes.

Notes

If you prefer a spicier flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.

For extra crunch, you can add more breadcrumbs to the coating.

To make the dish even richer, you can top the chicken with a little extra grated Parmesan before baking.
