Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 125 g grated Parmesan cheese
  • 125 g panko breadcrumbs
  • 0.5 tsp paprika
  • 0.5 tsp salt
  • 0.25 tsp black pepper
  • 60 ml unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp fresh parsley, chopped optional, for garnish

Equipment

  • Baking Sheet

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
  2. In a shallow bowl, mix Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  3. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Brush both sides with melted butter.
  4. Dredge each chicken breast in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing gently to ensure even coating.
  5. Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the chicken is golden brown and crispy.
  7. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve immediately with your favorite sides.

Notes

For a burst of flavor, try adding a squeeze of lemon juice over the chicken before serving. Pairs well with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad.
