Healthy Parmesan Crusted Chicken
Description
The recipe involves preheating the oven to 450°F and preparing a baking sheet with parchment paper or olive oil. Chicken filets are placed on the sheet and seasoned with salt and pepper. A layer of sour cream is spread on each filet to help the Parmesan and panko crumb mixture adhere. The coating includes shredded Parmesan cheese, panko bread crumbs, garlic powder, and seasoning, which is pressed onto each filet. The chicken is then baked for 12 to 15 minutes until cooked through and the crust becomes crispy.
The resulting crust adds a pleasant crunch with the nutty flavor of Parmesan cheese and aroma of garlic powder complementing the chicken. Baking at a high temperature ensures the coating crisps without overcooking the chicken, preserving its juiciness. This method offers a balanced crispy exterior and tender interior without using excess oil.
Serve the chicken immediately after baking for best texture, pairing well with steamed vegetables, salads, or grains. The relatively simple technique and ingredients make this recipe accessible and reliable for weeknight dinners or meal prep.
