How to Make Parmesan Herb Baked Chicken
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Start by preheating your oven to 400°F (200°C). This will ensure your chicken bakes evenly and gets that lovely golden crust.
Step 2: Prepare the Coating
In a large bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, dried Italian herbs, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly distributed. This is where the magic happens!
Step 3: Prepare the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the coating stick better! Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, allowing any excess to drip off. Then, coat the chicken in the Parmesan herb mixture, pressing down gently to ensure it adheres well.
Step 4: Bake the Chicken
Place the coated chicken breasts on a greased baking sheet. Lightly spray the tops with olive oil to help them get crispy and golden in the oven. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown. You can check the internal temperature should reach 165°F (75°C).
Step 5: Serve and Enjoy
Once baked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Serve it hot, garnished with fresh parsley or basil if desired. Pair it with roasted vegetables, a fresh salad, or creamy mashed potatoes for a complete meal!
