Instructions
- Marinate the chicken breasts with olive oil, garlic powder, lemon juice, black pepper, cayenne pepper, and salt. The marinade will be pasty, not liquidy, as shown in the picture below.
- While the chicken breasts are marinating, preheat the oven to 400°F (207°C).
- Top the marinated chicken breasts evenly with the grated Parmesan cheese. Bake the chicken for about 20–30 minutes, or until a meat thermometer registers 165°F (74°C) when inserted into the thickest part of the breasts.
- Remove the Parmesan baked chicken from the oven and serve immediately with fresh lemon wedges, squeezing the juice over the chicken for extra flavor. You may also serve the chicken with your favorite hot sauce.
Notes
- Watch the cooking video on this page for step-by-step guide.
- Do not use the green can of Parmesan cheese but rather freshly grated or grate your own.
