Parmesan-crusted chicken breasts

Parmesan-crusted chicken breasts are a delightful and savory dish perfect for a family dinner or a special occasion. The combination of Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and aromatic spices creates a crispy, flavorful crust that pairs beautifully with the tender, juicy chicken. This recipe is simple yet elegant, making it a crowd-pleaser that’s easy to prepare.

Ingredients:

1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
24g
2 tbsp bread crumbs
16g
1/8 tsp paprika
1/4g
1 tsp fresh parsley
1.25g
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1.55g
1/4 tsp white pepper
0.60g
8 chicken breasts
1160g

Instructions:

1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 375°F (190°C). This will ensure it’s hot and ready for the chicken breasts once you're done preparing them.
2. Prepare the Breading Mixture: In a medium-sized bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, paprika, chopped fresh parsley, garlic powder, and white pepper. Mix these ingredients thoroughly until they are well blended.
3. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the 8 chicken breasts dry with paper towels to remove any excess moisture. This will help the breading adhere better.
4. Coat the Chicken: Take each chicken breast and dip it into the breading mixture. Press the mixture onto the chicken to ensure an even and thorough coating on all sides.
5. Place in Baking Dish: Arrange the coated chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish. Ensure they are not touching to allow even cooking.
6. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven. Bake for about 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken breasts are golden brown and cooked through. To ensure the chicken is done, the internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C) when checked with a meat thermometer.
7. Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes before serving. This will help the juices redistribute throughout the meat, keeping it moist and flavorful.
8. Garnish and Enjoy: Garnish with additional fresh parsley if desired. Serve your Parmesan-crusted chicken breasts hot alongside your favorite sides.

Tips:

- Ensure the chicken breasts are evenly thick to promote even cooking. You can pound them to achieve an even thickness if necessary.

- For extra crispiness, allow the coated chicken breasts to rest for about 10-15 minutes before cooking. This helps the coating adhere better to the chicken.

- Bake the chicken on a wire rack placed over a baking sheet to ensure the bottom of the chicken breasts remains crispy and doesn't get soggy.

- Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after cooking to allow the juices to redistribute, making the meat more tender and flavorful.

- Experiment with different herbs and spices to customize the flavor to your liking. Try adding Italian seasoning, rosemary, or thyme for a unique twist.

With its crispy, golden-brown crust and tender, flavorful meat, Parmesan-crusted chicken breasts are sure to become a favorite in your meal rotation. This recipe not only adds a delicious twist to the usual chicken dinner but also ensures you have a fantastic dish with minimal effort. Serve it with a side of vegetables or a fresh salad for a well-rounded and satisfying meal.
