Baked Parmesan Crusted Chicken

Moist, flavorful and super crispy, and it's perfect for picky eaters!

Ingredients
  • 4 tablespoon butter
  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 c panko breadcrumbs
  • ⅔ c grated parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoon italian seasoning
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ½ teaspoon ground pepper
  • 1 lb boneless skinless chicken breasts, sliced into cutlets
  • Chopped parsley or basil, to taste, optional
Method
  1. Heat the oven to 425°F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Combine the butter, olive oil, and garlic powder in a shallow bowl. Place in the microwave for 30 seconds, or until butter melts. Whisk with a fork until very smooth.
  3. Combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper in a second shallow bowl. Whisk until well combined.
  4. Butterfly the chicken breasts. Place the chicken breast onto a cutting board. Using a large chef's knife, slice the chicken in half horizontally through the center, and open up the breasts (like a book); slice all the way through to create two thinner chicken breast pieces. See notes for a photo tutorial link.
  5. Dredge one piece of chicken through the butter mixture, then transfer to the parmesan mixture. Press to adhere the coating, then flip the chicken to coat the other side. Transfer to the prepared baking sheet, and repeat with the remaining chicken.
  6. Transfer the baking sheet to the oven. Bake 20 minutes, flipping the chicken pieces once halfway through. Check the temperature using an instant read thermometer and ensure the internal temperature is at least 165°F.
  7. Garnish with fresh chopped parsley or basil if desired, and serve immediately.
