Step-by-Step Instructions for Baked Parmesan Crusted Chicken
- Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a shallow bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, and garlic powder. Whisk until smooth.
- In a separate bowl, mix together panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, Italian seasoning, kosher salt, and ground pepper.
- Slice the chicken breasts into cutlets; aim for a uniform thickness of about 1/2 inch.
- Dip each cutlet into the butter mixture, then into the breadcrumb mixture, pressing to adhere.
- Place coated chicken cutlets on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer. Bake for about 20 minutes, flipping halfway.
- Check the chicken's internal temperature, ensuring it reaches at least 165°F (74°C) before removing from the oven.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley or basil, and serve immediately with your favorite sides.
