Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup bread crumbs (Italian seasoned preferred)
- 2 tablespoons melted butter
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- Salt and pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
- Combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a large bowl.
- Drizzle melted butter over the breadcrumb mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Dip each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating adheres well. Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
- Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through with an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) and the coating has turned golden brown.
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
Notes
Pat the chicken dry before coating for better breadcrumb adhesion. Allow chicken to cook until golden brown for the best texture.
