Ingredients

  • 6 chicken breast halves (boneless and skinless)
  • Salt and Pepper
  • 1/4 cup olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic (minced)
  • 1/2 teaspoon paprika
  • 1/2 cup dry Italian bread crumbs
  • 1/2 cup panko
  • ⅔ cup Parmesan cheese (fresh grated )
  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 1 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper

    Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

  2. 2

    Lightly grease a 9x13 inch baking dish.

  3. 3

    Season chicken breasts liberally with salt and pepper on both sides. Set aside.

  4. 4

    In a pie tin or shallow dish, mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, basil, oregano, and pepper.

  5. 5

    In a separate pie tin mix together olive oil and garlic with paprika.

  6. 6

    Dip each chicken breast in the oil mixture, then in the bread crumb mixture. Press the bread crumbs to the chicken so each breast is coated fully.

    Bake 30-35 minutes in the preheated oven, until internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165 degrees, or until chicken is no longer pink and juices run clear.
