Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts about 6 ounces each
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
For the Coating
  • 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt

Equipment

  • Baking dish

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish.
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Place them in the baking dish and drizzle with olive oil, turning to coat both sides.
  3. In a medium bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, oregano, black pepper, and salt. Mix well.
  4. Press the Parmesan mixture firmly onto both sides of each chicken breast, ensuring they are well coated.
  5. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  6. Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.
