Ingredients

  

1x2x3x

• 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (pounded to even thickness)
• ½ cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 2 tablespoons butter melted
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
• ½ teaspoon salt
• ½ teaspoon black pepper
• ¼ teaspoon paprika

Instructions

 

• Preheat the oven to 425°F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, mix melted butter, olive oil, garlic, Italian seasoning, salt, pepper, and paprika.
• Brush the chicken breasts with the garlic butter mixture, coating both sides evenly.
• Sprinkle Parmesan cheese generously over the top of each chicken breast.
• Place the chicken on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F.
• For extra crispiness, broil on high for 1-2 minutes until the cheese is golden brown.
• Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Notes

For added crunch, mix crushed pork rinds with Parmesan before sprinkling on top.
Use pre-minced garlic or garlic powder for an even quicker prep.
Pair with roasted asparagus, mashed cauliflower, or a simple side salad for a complete meal.
