A delightful twist on a classic breaded chicken recipe, featuring a crispy parmesan crust.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
Ensure the oven is fully preheated for even cooking.
Melt the butter in a small bowl and set aside.
Use a microwave or stovetop to melt the butter evenly.
Combine the breadcrumbs, parmesan cheese, salt, and pepper in a shallow dish.
Mix thoroughly to ensure an even distribution of flavors.
Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, then coat it in the breadcrumb mixture.
Press the chicken gently into the breadcrumbs to ensure a good coating.
Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish.
Leave space between the pieces for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
Check the internal temperature of the chicken to ensure it reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
