Ingredients
| Ingredient | Quantity |
|---|---|
| Boneless, skinless chicken breasts | 4 |
| Grated Parmesan cheese | 1 cup |
| Italian breadcrumbs | 1 cup |
Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 375°F and lightly grease a baking dish. This helps the chicken cook evenly and ensures a crisp underside.
- Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Season lightly with salt, pepper, or your favorite seasoning blend. This preps the meat for the coating.
- In a shallow bowl, mix the grated Parmesan with Italian breadcrumbs. Toss lightly with your fingers so the cheese clings to the crumbs, creating a textured, flavorful crust.
- Press each chicken breast firmly into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides generously. This forms the golden, crispy top once baked.
- Place the coated chicken in the prepared baking dish, leaving a little space between each piece. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden and crisp.
- Let the chicken rest a few minutes after baking so the juices settle and the crust stays perfectly crisp.
