A delightful and easy-to-make chicken recipe with a crispy garlic-parmesan crust.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating the oven ensures even cooking from the start.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and ground black pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them dry with a paper towel.
Drying the chicken helps the coating adhere better.
Dip each chicken breast into the coating mixture, pressing gently to ensure an even layer adheres.
Pressing the coating firmly helps it stick and creates a crispier crust.
Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish in a single layer.
Ensure the chicken pieces do not overlap for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
For an extra crispy finish, broil the chicken for 2-3 minutes, watching closely to prevent burning.
Broiling adds a beautiful golden color and enhances the crispiness.
Serve the chicken hot with your choice of sides, such as a fresh salad or roasted vegetables.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a touch of color and flavor.
