Parmesan Crusted Chicken

There are so many ways to make boring baked chicken more exciting! Cheese is always a good place to start. This juicy baked chicken has a slight crust, which actually makes you think it's fried!

Servings: 4

Serving Size: 1 chicken breast
Points Plus: 5pp
Level of Difficulty: Easy
Prep Time: 15 minutes
Cook Time: 25-30 minutes

Ingredients:

1/4 cup Parmesan cheese

2 Tbsp. Italian bread crumbs

1/8 tsp. paprika

1 tsp. parsley

1/2 tsp. garlic powder

1/4 tsp. pepper

1 lb. chicken breasts (4)

Directions:

Preheat your oven to 400 degrees. Mix together cheese, breadcrumbs and all seasonings in a bowl. One by one, coat each chicken breast with the cheese coating. Place on a baking sheet and bake for 15 minutes, flip, and then bake for 10-15 more minutes. 

Tip:

I just learned this crazy tip! To bake chicken, place a metal cookie cooling rack on a rimmed baking sheet. Place chicken to the rack and bake for the entire time your recipe calls for, no need to flip! The chicken juice will drip onto the rimmed sheet and your chicken will turn out crispy!
