Baked Parmesan Garlic Chicken
Description
The recipe combines dry Italian dressing mix, garlic powder, and Parmesan cheese to create a seasoned coating that adheres to damp chicken breasts. Baking at 400°F for about 20-25 minutes cooks the chicken thoroughly while crisping the Parmesan and seasonings into a flavorful crust. The process requires minimal ingredients and preparation but results in a well-seasoned protein centerpiece.
The flavor profile is savory and mildly garlicky, with the Parmesan adding umami and a slightly crisp texture on the surface. Because the chicken is baked uncovered, the coating becomes lightly toasted but the meat remains tender if not overbaked.
This dish pairs well with vegetables, salads, or grains and can be served fresh or refrigerated for next-day meals. Its minimal prep makes it a practical choice for a straightforward baked chicken entrée.
No specific storage or substitution notes were provided, but baking times may vary depending on chicken breast size and oven calibration.
Ingredients
- 4 chicken breast boneless skinless
- 1 dry Italian dressing mix package
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup Parmesan Cheese You can also use fresh shredded which I used, grated
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
- Mix together the Italian Dressing Mix, Parmesan Cheese, and garlic powder.
- Wash chicken and while still damp, coat them with the cheese mixture.
- Bake chicken breasts in shallow dish for 20-25 minutes or until no longer pink.
Notes
- Ensure chicken breasts are still slightly damp before coating to help the cheese mixture adhere well.
- Baking for 20 to 25 minutes at 400°F yields cooked chicken; check for no pink inside to confirm doneness.
- Use freshly shredded Parmesan cheese if available for improved texture and flavor.
