  • Total Time: 40 minutes
  • Yield: Serves 4

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3-4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup plain or Italian-style breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly spray a baking dish with nonstick cooking spray.
  2. Season both sides of the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
  3. In a bowl, mix together Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, and oregano until well combined.
  4. Coat each seasoned chicken breast in the cheese mixture, pressing gently to adhere.
  5. Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish and bake for 25-30 minutes or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (75°C).

For extra crispiness, avoid overcrowding the baking dish; space out the chicken pieces to allow even cooking.
