This Garlic Parmesan Chicken is a flavorful and easy-to-make dish featuring juicy chicken breasts coated in a savory garlic and Parmesan cheese crust. Perfect for a quick weeknight dinner that everyone will love.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
  • Salt and black pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley, chopped (optional, for garnish)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
  2. In a shallow bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
  3. Brush each chicken breast with melted butter on both sides.
  4. Press each butter-coated chicken breast into the Parmesan mixture, ensuring an even coating on all sides.
  5. Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
  6. Bake for 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
  7. Optional: Broil for 2-3 minutes at the end for extra crispiness, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  8. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.

Notes

For extra flavor, serve with a side of garlic mashed potatoes or a fresh green salad. You can also add a squeeze of lemon juice over the chicken before serving for a bright finish.
