Ingredients
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon dried parsley
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- Salt and pepper to taste
- Olive oil for greasing the baking dish
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and grease a baking dish with a little olive oil.
- Prepare the Crust Mixture: In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan, panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, dried parsley, dried oregano, and a pinch of salt and pepper.
- Coat the Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, ensuring it’s coated on all sides. Then, press each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring a generous layer of crumbs sticks to each side.
- Arrange the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Drizzle any remaining butter over the top of the chicken for extra flavor and crispiness.
- Bake the Chicken: Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden and crispy.
- Serve: Garnish with additional parsley, if desired, and serve immediately with your favorite side dishes.
