Preheat your oven to 350°F (175°C).
In a shallow bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, dried basil, salt, and pepper.
Dip each chicken breast in the melted butter, ensuring it’s well coated.
Press the buttered chicken breast into the Parmesan mixture, coating it thoroughly on all sides.
Place the chicken breasts in a single layer in a baking dish.
Pour any remaining melted butter over the chicken for extra flavor.
Bake for 30-35 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
Let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving. Enjoy!
Variations & Tips
For a bit of a kick, try adding a pinch of red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture. If you’re a fan of herbs, mix in some fresh chopped parsley or thyme. For a lower-carb version, you can substitute almond flour for the breadcrumbs. To make it a one-pan meal, add some baby potatoes and your favorite vegetables to the baking dish, coated lightly in olive oil, and bake them along with the chicken.
