Ingredients
  

Main
  • 4 chicken breasts or your protein of choice
  • 1 cup seasoned bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 2 teaspoons garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil

Equipment

  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Coating tray or shallow dish
  • Tongs

Method
 

  1. Preheat the oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  3. In a mixing bowl, combine the seasoned bread crumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts to help the coating adhere.
  5. Dredge each chicken breast in the breadcrumb mixture, pressing lightly to ensure an even coating.
  6. Arrange the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, leaving space between each piece for even cooking.
  7. Bake in the preheated oven for 25–30 minutes, until the coating is golden brown and the chicken is cooked through.
  8. Check that the internal temperature of the chicken has reached 165°F (74°C) and let rest for a few minutes before serving.

Notes

Don't skip the resting period; letting the chicken sit for a few minutes after baking helps seal in the juices.
