Cheesy Garlic Baked Chicken
Ingredients:
4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
1 cup shredded cheddar cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons melted butter
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried parsley
Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Prepare the Chicken: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel and season with salt, pepper, and garlic powder on both sides.
2. Prepare the Coating: In a bowl, mix the breadcrumbs, Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, dried parsley, and minced garlic.
3. Coat the Chicken: Brush each chicken breast with melted butter, ensuring it’s fully coated. Press each piece into the breadcrumb mixture to coat evenly on all sides.
4. Bake the Chicken: Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle shredded cheddar cheese evenly over each piece.
5. Cook to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F/74°C).
6. Garnish and Serve: Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes. Garnish with fresh parsley and serve warm with your favorite side dish.
