Parmesan Crusted Chicken (Oven Baked)

Step 1

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Step 2

Mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, parsley, salt, and pepper together in a shallow pie dish or a deep plate.

Step 3

Mix the butter, lemon juice and garlic together in another shallow pie dish or deep plate.

Step 4

Dip both sides of the chicken in the butter mixture - coating it well.

Step 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.

Step 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.

Step 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.
