Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup breadcrumbs preferably panko
  • ¼ cup melted butter

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly spray it with cooking spray.
  • In a shallow dish, mix together the Parmesan cheese and breadcrumbs.
  • Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, coating it evenly.
  • Then, roll the chicken in the Parmesan-breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure the coating sticks.
  • Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
  • Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
  • Serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.

Notes

    1. Use Panko Breadcrumbs: Panko breadcrumbs will give the chicken a light and crispy texture, unlike regular breadcrumbs.
    2. Pat Dry the Chicken: Before coating, make sure the chicken breasts are dry to ensure the coating sticks well.
    3. Don’t Overcrowd the Pan: Leave space between the chicken breasts so the coating can crisp up evenly.
    4. Check for Doneness: Ensure the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) for a safe and fully cooked meal.
