Instructions:
Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Prepare a baking sheet by lining it with parchment paper or lightly greasing it with cooking spray.
In a shallow dish, combine the bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, paprika, chopped fresh parsley, garlic powder, and a dash of salt. Mix well to ensure all the ingredients are evenly distributed.
If desired, use a meat mallet to pound the chicken breasts to an even thickness. This helps them cook more evenly.
Pour the dried milk into a separate shallow dish. Dip each chicken breast into the dried milk, ensuring it's fully coated. Allow any excess to drip off.
Transfer each chicken breast into the breading mixture, pressing down firmly to ensure a good coating. Flip the chicken breast over to coat the other side, making sure it's well covered with the breadcrumb mixture.
Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Make sure they are not touching, so they bake evenly and become crispy.
Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (75°C).
Remove the chicken breasts from the oven and let them rest for a couple of minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making the chicken more flavorful and tender.
Serve hot with your favorite side dishes, such as a fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or mashed potatoes.
Tips:
- Ensure the chicken breasts are of similar thickness for even cooking.
- You can use freshly grated Parmesan for a richer flavor.
- Drizzle a little olive oil over the chicken before baking for extra crispiness.
- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to keep the juices intact.
- For a spicy kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the breadcrumb mixture.
Baked Parmesan-Crusted Chicken Breasts are an excellent way to enjoy a wholesome, flavorful meal. This simple yet tasty recipe brings together the perfect blend of spices, cheese, and crispy texture. Serve it with a fresh salad or your favorite side dishes for a complete and satisfying meal. Enjoy!
