Instructions
Creating Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bake is straightforward if you follow these steps:
1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
2. Prepare the Baking Dish: Lightly grease a baking dish with cooking spray or olive oil.
3. Mix the Coating: In a bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, oregano, basil, salt, and pepper.
4. Coat the Chicken: Drizzle olive oil over the chicken breasts. Then, press each breast into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring they are well-coated on both sides.
5. Place in Baking Dish: Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish.
6. Drizzle with Olive Oil: Lightly drizzle any remaining olive oil over the top of the chicken for added moisture.
7. Bake: Place the baking dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
8. Check for Doneness: Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
9. Garnish and Serve: Once cooked, remove from the oven and let it rest for a few minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
