For an extra crispy crust, lightly spray the Parmesan-coated chicken with cooking spray before baking. Serve with a side of roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or your favorite pasta for a complete and satisfying meal. Feel free to experiment with different herbs and spices in the Parmesan crust. Italian seasoning, onion powder, or red pepper flakes would all be delicious additions. To prevent the cheese from burning, you can place a sheet of aluminum foil loosely over the chicken during the last 10-15 minutes of baking.

Follow The Directions
01
Step
5 mins
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or spraying it with cooking spray. (5 minutes)
02
Step
5 mins
Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water and pat them completely dry with paper towels. This helps the cheese crust adhere better. (5 minutes)
03
Step
5 mins
Using a fork or knife, pierce each chicken breast several times. This allows the marinade to penetrate deeply, ensuring flavorful and juicy chicken. (5 minutes)
04
Step
30 mins
In a large resealable plastic bag, combine the chicken breasts and the Herb & Garlic Marinade. Seal the bag tightly, removing as much air as possible. Gently massage the marinade into the chicken, ensuring each piece is thoroughly coated. Marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or preferably overnight, for maximum flavor. (30 minutes to overnight)
05
Step
2 mins
In a shallow dish or on a plate, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, and dried oregano. Mix well to ensure the spices are evenly distributed. (2 minutes)
06
Step
2 mins
Remove the chicken breasts from the marinade, discarding the used marinade. Allow any excess marinade to drip off. (2 minutes)
07
Step
5 mins
One at a time, dredge each chicken breast in the Parmesan cheese mixture, pressing gently to ensure the cheese adheres to all sides, creating a uniform crust. (5 minutes)
08
Step
2 mins
Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are not overcrowded. (2 minutes)
09
Step
40 mins
Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the internal temperature reaches 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). The Parmesan crust should be golden brown and crispy. (40-45 minutes)
10
Step
5 mins
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5-10 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, resulting in more tender and flavorful chicken. (5-10 minutes)
