Ingredients
Scale
Chicken
- 4 small boneless, skinless chicken breasts
Seasoning Mix
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1 envelope Good Seasons Italian Dressing mix (about 1.25 oz)
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Instructions
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 375 degrees Fahrenheit (190 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the proper temperature for baking the chicken evenly.
- Prepare the Seasoning Mixture: In a large shallow bowl or dish, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, Italian dressing mix, and garlic powder thoroughly.
- Coat the Chicken: Rinse the chicken breasts under cold water briefly, then pat them dry slightly to retain some moisture. Roll each chicken breast in the seasoning mixture, making sure they are well coated on all sides.
- Arrange and Bake: Lightly grease a baking sheet and place the coated chicken breasts on it in a single layer. Bake them in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and is cooked through.
- Serve: Once cooked, serve the Parmesan garlic chicken hot with your choice of spaghetti sauce and cooked pasta for a complete meal.
Notes
- Make sure chicken is cooked thoroughly to avoid any food safety risks.
- You can substitute the Italian dressing mix with a homemade blend of dried herbs like oregano, basil, and parsley.
- For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
