Equipment

  • Oven
  • medium-sized bowl
  • Baking sheet
  • parchment paper
  • Meat thermometer

Ingredients
  

For the Chicken

  • 4 pieces Chicken breasts providing tender and juicy meat
  • 0.25 cup Olive oil helps the coating adhere and crisps up perfectly

For the Coating

  • 1 cup Breadcrumbs brings crunch and texture
  • 1 cup Grated Parmesan cheese adds rich, savory flavor
  • 1 teaspoon Garlic powder for aromatic and bold taste
  • 1 teaspoon Onion powder complements the garlic
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning brings warmth and herbaceous notes

Instructions
 

Step-by-Step Instructions

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • Combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, onion powder, and Italian seasoning in a medium bowl and stir until well mixed.
  • Drizzle olive oil over each chicken breast on a cutting board, ensuring even coating.
  • Coat each oiled chicken breast generously with the breadcrumb mixture and press down firmly.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment paper and arrange the coated chicken breasts on it, spaced apart.
  • Bake the chicken for 25 to 30 minutes, until the coating is crispy and golden brown, and the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).
  • Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after removing it from the oven to redistribute juices before serving.

Notes

For best results, use fresh chicken breasts and allow them to rest after baking for moisture retention.
