Equipment

  • 1 oven
  • 1 baking dish
  • 1 mixing bowl
  • 1 whisk
  • 1 meat mallet or rolling pin
  • 1 set measuring cups and spoons

Ingredients
  

  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts About 1.5 to 2 pounds total.
  • ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup plain breadcrumbs
  • ¼ cup unsalted butter Melted.
  • 4 cloves garlic Minced.
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1 teaspoon dried parsley
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • as needed cooking spray or olive oil For greasing.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  • In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, oregano, parsley, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
  • In another bowl, mix the melted butter with the minced garlic.
  • Place the chicken breasts between two pieces of plastic wrap or parchment paper. Using a meat mallet or rolling pin, gently pound them to an even thickness (about ½ inch).
  • Dip each chicken breast into the garlic butter mixture, ensuring they are well coated.
  • Next, dredge the chicken breasts in the breadcrumb and Parmesan mixture, pressing the coating firmly onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well.
  • Place the coated chicken breasts in a greased baking dish. If desired, lightly spray the top of the chicken with cooking spray or drizzle a little olive oil for extra crispiness.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
  • Remove from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For extra flavor, consider adding some Italian seasoning or crushed red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave before serving.
