This Garlic Parmesan Crusted Chicken is the perfect balance of crispy, golden breadcrumbs and creamy, savory Parmesan. The garlic butter adds an irresistible richness, while the herbs give it an aromatic touch that elevates this dish from ordinary to extraordinary.
- Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 tablespoon garlic powder
- 1 tablespoon dried Italian seasoning
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
- 1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese (for garnish)
Directions:
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it with cooking spray.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
- Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Then, dredge the chicken in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to coat both sides evenly.
- Heat the olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Once the skillet is hot, add the coated chicken breasts and sear for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown.
- Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake the chicken for 15-18 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
- Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. Garnish with fresh parsley and extra grated Parmesan cheese.
