Nobody will ever believe that this is baked and not fried! These are great served on their own and make a great sandwich! This Parmesan Crusted Chicken is a really easy recipe that’s perfect for a weeknight dinner but also so delicious you could serve it for company. The chicken is really tender and the coating adds a tasty cheesy garlic flavor.

Ingredients

  • 5 boneless skinless chicken breasts trimmed of any fat
  • 1 cup panko bread crumbs (or gluten-free bread crumbs if desired)
  • 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons minced parsley
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon pepper
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

Instructions

    1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees.
    2. Mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper together in a shallow pie dish or a deep plate.
    3. Mix the butter, lemon juice and garlic together in another shallow pie dish or deep plate.
    4. Dip both sides of the chicken in the butter mixture - coating it well.
    5. Quickly, place the chicken on the bread crumb mixture and toss the crumbs up over the edges and top of chicken breast using either your hands or a spoon. Then gently press the chicken so the crumbs on the bottom side stick to the chicken. Now turn the chicken over and again press that side into the crumbs.
    6. Place chicken in 9x13 baking dish and repeat steps 3 and 4 with the rest of the chicken. Depending on the size of the chicken breasts you may need to use additional pans.
    7. When all chicken is prepped, bake for 40 minutes or until a meat thermometer reads 165 degrees when inserted in the thickest part of the chicken breast.

Notes

  • If the butter and lemon juice mixture starts to congeal, microwave for 20 seconds.
  • Be sure to use grated Parmesan cheese, because shredded cheese won't stick to the chicken as nicely.
  • For a gluten-free version just swap out the Panko bread crumbs for your favorite gluten-free bread crumbs!
