Ingredients

Scale

4 chicken breasts
1 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 cup breadcrumbs
2 teaspoons garlic powder
1 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup butter, melted
1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped (optional)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C) and lightly grease a baking dish.
In a bowl, combine Parmesan, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and black pepper.
Dip each chicken breast in melted butter, then coat thoroughly with the breadcrumb mixture.

Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until chicken is cooked through and coating is golden brown.

Notes

For extra crispness
place a wire rack in the baking dish. Let chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juices.
