Ingredients

For the chicken

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Grease a 9x13 inch baking dish with cooking spray.

  2. In a shallow bowl, combine the Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, oregano, parsley, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

  3. Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, ensuring they're well-coated, then roll them in the bread crumb mixture until fully covered. Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.

  4. Bake in the preheated oven for about 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear. An instant-read thermometer should read at least 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the chicken.

🌟 For even crispier chicken, broil for an additional 2-3 minutes at the end of baking time, keeping a close eye to prevent burning.

This will make the chicken juicier! - **Herb Variations**: Feel free to customize the herb mix—Italian seasoning or fresh herbs can add great variations. - **Serving Suggestion**: Pair with a zesty lemon wedge, a sprinkle of fresh herbs, or a light drizzle of olive oil for added flavor! ## Variations - **Gluten-free**: Substitute regular bread crumbs with gluten-free versions or crushed gluten-free crackers. - **Spicy**: Add a pinch of cayenne pepper to the bread crumb mixture for a bit of heat! - **Air Fryer Version**: Cook the coated chicken in an air fryer at 380°F (193°C) for about 15-18 minutes for a quicker and healthier version.
