Boneless chicken breasts are coated in a buttery garlic parmesan mixture and baked until the top turns crisp and golden while the inside stays juicy. The breadcrumb and cheese topping adds a savory crunch without any frying. It works well for a weeknight dinner alongside roasted vegetables or a simple salad.

Ingredients

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 4 tablespoons unsalted butter, melted
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil

Method

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F and lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish with the olive oil.

  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry and season both sides with salt and pepper.

  3. In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter and minced garlic.

  4. In a separate bowl, combine the parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, parsley, and paprika.

  5. Arrange the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and brush each piece evenly with the garlic butter.

  6. Press the parmesan breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.

  7. Bake until the chicken reaches 165°F internally and the topping is golden, 25 to 30 minutes.

  8. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
