Ingredients
- 6 boneless skinless chicken breasts (1.5 pounds or 680 grams) pounded thin
- 1 cup 230 grams butter, melted
- 3 tablespoons 21 grams minced garlic
- 1 ¼ cups 115 grams dry bread crumbs
- 1 cup 100 grams grated Parmesan Cheese
- 2 ¼ cups 270 grams shredded cheddar cheese
- ½ teaspoon 0.5 grams dried parsley
- ½ teaspoon 0.5 grams dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon 0.5 grams ground black pepper
- ¼ teaspoon 0.25 grams salt
Instructions
- Heat oven to 350°F (175°C).
- Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat and cook the garlic for around 5 minutes until tender.
- In a shallow bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, Parmesan, cheddar cheese, parsley, oregano, pepper and salt.
- Dip the chicken breasts into the garlic butter mixture, coating both sides.
- Press the chicken into the bread crumbles mixture to evenly coat both sides.
- Place the chicken in a baking dish, drizzle with any leftover garlic butter, and top with any remaining breadcrumb mixture.
- Bake for 30-35 minutes until chicken is cooked through and juices run clear when pierced with a fork.
Notes
- For a spicier flavor, add ¼ to ½ teaspoon of cayenne pepper or crushed red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture.
- You can use Italian-seasoned breadcrumbs for extra flavor.
- If the breadcrumb mixture seems dry, add a little extra melted butter to moisten it before coating the chicken.
- Serve with rice, pasta, roasted vegetables, or a fresh salad.
