Cooking Instructions
Follow our step-by-step guide on how to make Garlic Parmesan Baked Chicken Breast.
Step 1
Start by preheating your oven to a cozy 350°F (175°C), setting the stage for a delicious meal.
Step 2
While the oven warms up, take your chicken breasts and give them a light sprinkle of salt to enhance their natural flavor.
Step 3
In a mixing bowl, bring together some crunchy bread crumbs, rich Parmesan cheese, aromatic dried basil, and a dash of black pepper.
Step 4
This delightful mixture will create a tasty crust for your chicken.
Step 5
Next, heat a splash of olive oil in a skillet over medium heat, adding crushed garlic to the pan.
Step 6
Let the garlic sizzle for about 1 to 2 minutes until it fills your kitchen with a wonderful aroma.
Step 7
Now, it’s time to coat the chicken! Dip each breast into the fragrant garlic oil, allowing it to soak up that delicious flavor, then roll it in the bread crumb and Parmesan mixture until it’s fully covered.
Step 8
Place the beautifully coated chicken in a baking dish, ready for the oven.
Step 9
Bake your chicken in the preheated oven for around 30 minutes, or until it’s cooked through and no longer pink in the center.
Step 10
You’ll know it’s done when the juices run clear and an instant-read thermometer shows at least 165°F (74°C).
Step 11
As the chicken bakes, your home will be filled with mouthwatering scents, making the wait all the more worthwhile.
Step 12
Enjoy your perfectly baked chicken, and savor every bite!.
