A deliciously crispy and flavorful baked chicken recipe perfect for any meal.
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and position the rack to the lowest level.
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy coating.
Grease a baking sheet lightly with butter or cooking spray.
Use parchment paper for easier cleanup.
Melt the butter in a shallow bowl and mix in the garlic powder.
Microwave the butter in short intervals to avoid overheating.
In another shallow bowl, combine the panko breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, seasoning salt, black pepper, and cayenne pepper.
Mix thoroughly to ensure even distribution of flavors.
Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, ensuring it is well coated.
Let excess butter drip off before breading.
Press the chicken breast into the breadcrumb mixture, coating it evenly on all sides.
Press firmly to help the coating adhere better.
Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet.
Leave space between pieces for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
Use a meat thermometer to ensure the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot with your favorite sides and enjoy!
Garnish with fresh parsley for a pop of color.
