For an extra layer of flavor, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the bread crumb mixture. Ensure the chicken breasts are of uniform thickness for even cooking. If necessary, pound them gently with a mallet. Fresh basil can be substituted for dried basil; use about 1 tablespoon of chopped fresh basil. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete and balanced meal.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C). (5 minutes)
02
Step
2 mins
Lightly season the chicken breasts with salt to enhance their natural flavors. (2 minutes)
03
Step
3 mins
In a mixing bowl, combine the Panko bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, and freshly ground black pepper. Ensure the mixture is well combined for an even coating. (3 minutes)
04
Step
2 mins
In a skillet over medium heat, warm the extra virgin olive oil. Add the minced garlic and sauté until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes. (2 minutes)
05
Step
10 mins
Dip each chicken breast in the fragrant garlic oil, ensuring both sides are lightly coated. Then, dredge the chicken in the bread crumb-Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to adhere. Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish. (10 minutes)
06
Step
30 mins
Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the breast should read at least 165°F (74°C). This typically takes about 30 minutes. (30 minutes)
07
Step
5 mins
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to allow the juices to redistribute, ensuring maximum tenderness and flavor. (5 minutes)
