Ingredients

US Customary - Metric

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (180ºC). Season the chicken breasts with salt and pepper.
    2 chicken breasts, Salt and pepper
  • In a shallow bowl, combine the melted butter and olive oil.
    4 tablespoons butter, 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • In a separate bowl, mix the Panko breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan, dried oregano, smoked paprika, garlic powder, and onion powder. Dip each chicken piece into the butter mixture, making sure it’s coated well. Then, press the chicken into the breadcrumb mixture, ensuring the coating sticks evenly to each piece.
    1 cup Panko breadcrumbs, 1 cup Parmesan cheese, 2 teaspoons dried oregano, 1 teaspoon smoked paprika, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • Place the coated chicken on a parchment-lined baking sheet and spray the tops with cooking spray. Bake in the oven for 18-20 minutes or until the chicken is golden and cooked through.

Notes

  • Extra Crunch: For a thicker, crunchier coating, consider double-dipping the chicken. Dip the chicken in the butter and oil mixture, coat it with the breadcrumb mix, and then repeat the process for an extra layer of crispiness.
  • Check the Temp: To avoid overcooking or undercooking, use a meat thermometer. Chicken should reach an internal temperature of 165°F. This ensures that it stays juicy inside while being perfectly cooked.
  • Parchment Paper: It keeps the chicken from sticking and makes cleanup easy.
  • Butter Mixture: The butter and oil mixture not only adds richness but also helps the breadcrumbs adhere properly, giving the chicken a golden, flavorful crust.
  • Lighten It Up: You can cut back on butter or use olive oil spray for a lighter version.
  • Zesty Kick: Want to kick up the flavor a notch? Add a bit of freshly grated lemon zest to the breadcrumb mixture. It’ll add a bright, citrusy note that pairs perfectly with the Parmesan.
  • Even Slices: Slice the chicken evenly so it all cooks at the same rate.
