How To Make Garlic Parmesan Chicken

This garlic parmesan chicken is so easy to make! Just follow these easy steps:

• Preheat your oven to 400 degrees F (205 degrees C)
• Like your baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and then spray it with cooking spray
• You’ll start by cutting your chicken breasts into serving-size pieces (I got three good-sized pieces from each large chicken breast)
• Drizzle the chicken in olive oil and then toss it until they have been fully coated
• In a shallow dish, whisk together the bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, garlic powder, salt and parsley
• Next, dip each piece of chicken into the bread crumb mix, pressing gently, to coat
• Place on the baking sheet and then spray the tops with cooking spray

Tip For Making Garlic Parmesan Chicken

• Cooking the chicken at a higher temperature helps it get nice and crispy and brown. The chicken also smells so good while it’s baking that my kids always interrupt me repeatedly to ask when dinner will be ready. They can’t wait for a bite of the deliciousness!
• Make extra chicken breasts and then cut them up to use in other recipes; like pasta or salad dishes

I like to serve this garlic parmesan chicken with buttered noodles and steamed vegetables on the side. It’s an easy and delicious dinner that my whole family loves! This chicken is so flavorful and tender, and the leftovers are just as delicious!

Can You Freeze Baked Garlic Parmesan Chicken

Yes, you can freeze this chicken recipe for later. First, you must wait until the chicken has completely cooled before you put it in the freezer. Once it has cooled, you can either tightly wrap the baking pan in plastic wrap and then cover with aluminum foil or place them in a large freezer bag. These can be stored in the freezer for about 2-3 months. When you’re ready to use it, place the chicken in the refrigerator the day before and let it thaw overnight.
