Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C).
- Mince the garlic clove.
- In a small microwave-safe bowl, combine the minced garlic and 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Heat this mixture in the microwave for about 30 seconds to infuse the oil with garlic flavor. Set aside to cool slightly.
- In a medium-sized bowl, combine 1 cup of bread crumbs, 2/3 cup of grated parmesan cheese, 1 teaspoon of dried basil, and 1/4 teaspoon of black pepper. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
- Take each chicken breast and first dip it into the garlic-infused olive oil, ensuring it is well-coated.
- After coating with the oil, press the chicken breast into the bread crumb mixture, ensuring that it is evenly coated on all sides. Gently shake off any excess crumbs.
- Place the coated chicken breasts onto a lightly greased baking sheet, ensuring they are evenly spaced and not touching.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the preheated oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken breasts are no longer pink in the center and the bread crumb coating is golden brown and crispy.
- To ensure the chicken is fully cooked, you can use a meat thermometer. The internal temperature should reach at least 165°F (75°C).
- Allow the chicken to rest for a few minutes after removing from the oven.
- Serve hot, paired with your favorite side dishes such as steamed vegetables, a fresh salad, or mashed potatoes.
Tips:
- Ensure the chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking. You can pound them to achieve this if needed.
- If you prefer a stronger garlic flavor, you can add an extra clove of garlic or marinate the chicken with smashed garlic beforehand.
- For an extra crispy coating, try using panko breadcrumbs instead of regular bread crumbs.
- Feel free to add additional seasonings like paprika or oregano to the breadcrumb mixture for extra flavor.
- To prevent the chicken from drying out, cover the baking dish with aluminum foil during the first half of the baking time, then uncover to allow the coating to crisp up.
