Ingredients
•
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves
•
salt to taste
•
3/4 cup bread crumbs
•
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
•
1 teaspoon dried basil
•
1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon crushed garlic
Directions
1
Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2
Season chicken breasts with a little salt.
3
Mix bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, and pepper in a bowl.
4
Heat olive oil and garlic in a skillet over medium heat until fragrant, 1 to 2 minutes.
5
Dip chicken breasts in the garlic oil, then into the bread crumb-Parmesan mixture. Place chicken in a baking dish.

Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 30 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
