Ingredients
  

  • 2 lbs boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp Italian seasoning
  • 1 tsp paprika
  • 1 tsp salt
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ***For the Parmesan Topping
  • 1 cup freshly grated parmesan cheese
  • ½ cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 2 tbsp melted butter
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tbsp chopped fresh parsley

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Preheat the Oven

    Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C).
    Lightly grease a 9x13-inch baking dish.

  2. Step 2: Season the Chicken

    Pat the chicken dry.
    Rub with olive oil and season with garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, paprika, salt, and pepper.
    Place the chicken in the prepared baking dish.

  3. Step 3: Prepare the Parmesan Topping

    In a medium bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, melted butter, minced garlic, and parsley.
    Mix until evenly combined.

  4. Step 4: Top the Chicken

    Sprinkle the Parmesan mixture evenly over each chicken breast.
    Press lightly so the topping adheres.

  5. Step 5: Bake

    Bake for 25–30 minutes or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
    For a golden, crispy topping, broil for 2–3 minutes during the final cooking time.

  6. Step 6: Serve

    Allow the chicken to rest for 5 minutes before serving.
    Garnish with additional parsley if desired.
