Description

Garlic chicken breasts are dipped in a robust garlic-olive oil infusion, coated with Parmesan and bread crumbs, then baked until juicy and tender.

Ingredients

1/4 cup olive oil
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1/4 cup Italian-seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
4 skinless, boneless chicken breast halves

Directions

1 Gather the ingredients. Preheat the oven to 425 degrees F (220 degrees C).
2 Heat olive oil and garlic in a small saucepan over low heat until warmed, 1 to 2 minutes. Pour into a shallow bowl.
3 Combine bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese in a separate shallow bowl.
4 Use tongs to dip chicken breasts in olive oil-garlic mixture, then coat evenly in bread crumb mixture. Transfer coated chicken to a shallow baking dish.
5 Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink and juices run clear, 30 to 35 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C).
