A flavorful and crispy sesame crusted chicken dish, perfect for a family dinner.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
Grease a baking dish with a little butter or oil to prevent sticking.
Use a non-stick spray for easier cleanup.
Melt the butter in a small bowl.
Microwave the butter in short intervals to avoid splattering.
In another bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, sesame seeds, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and paprika.
Ensure the mixture is well combined for even coating.
Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, then coat it thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture.
Press the coating onto the chicken to help it adhere better.
Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
Leave some space between the pieces for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it's fully cooked (165°F or 74°C).
Serve the chicken hot over a bed of rice or with your favorite side dish.
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color and flavor.
