Enjoy a flavorful and crispy chicken dish with a delightful herb crust, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
Using parchment paper prevents sticking and makes cleanup easier.
In a mixing bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, garlic powder, smoked paprika, and chopped parsley.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors in the coating.
In another bowl, whisk the eggs until well beaten.
Adding a splash of water to the eggs can make the coating process smoother.
Dip each chicken breast into the egg wash, then coat it thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.
Press the breadcrumbs onto the chicken to ensure they stick well.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet and lightly spray with olive oil.
Spraying with olive oil helps achieve a golden, crispy crust.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
Serve the crispy herb-crusted chicken warm with your favorite sides.
Garnish with additional fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
