Parmesan-crusted chicken is a delicious and flavorful dish that combines tender chicken with a crispy, cheesy exterior. The chicken breasts are coated in a mixture of breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, and herbs, creating a golden and savory crust when cooked. This recipe is quick and easy, perfect for a weeknight dinner or when you’re just short on time. Let’s get going!

Ingredients

Units Scale
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. In a shallow dish, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, dried oregano, garlic powder, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
  3. Dip each chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to coat both sides.
  4. Heat the olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and cook for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
  5. Transfer the skillet to the preheated oven and bake for approximately 15-20 minutes until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is crispy.

Notes

Pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness before coating them. This helps the chicken cook evenly and ensures a tender result. For the best flavor, use freshly grated Parmesan cheese. Pre-packaged grated Parmesan may not melt and adhere to the chicken as well. Feel free to customize the seasoning by adding other herbs or spices to the breadcrumb mixture. Experiment with your favorite flavors to make it your own. Make sure to use an oven-safe skillet or transfer the chicken to a baking dish before baking in the oven. Serve the parmesan-crusted chicken breast with a side of vegetables, a salad, or pasta for a complete meal. Yum!
