This recipe offers a delightful twist on classic baked chicken, featuring a crispy Parmesan crust infused with garlic flavor.
Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
Preheating ensures even cooking and a crispy crust.
In a mixing bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, smoked paprika, ground black pepper, and salt.
Mix thoroughly to ensure the seasoning is evenly distributed.
Brush the chicken breasts with olive oil to help the seasoning adhere.
Using olive oil also adds a subtle flavor to the chicken.
Coat each chicken breast with the Parmesan mixture, pressing gently to ensure it sticks.
Pressing the coating firmly helps it adhere better during baking.
Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish and bake in the preheated oven for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown.
Use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C).
Serve the chicken hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with a side of steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
