4.9 from 108 reviews

A simple and flavorful Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bake featuring tender chicken breasts seasoned with garlic and coated in a buttery parmesan mixture, baked to golden perfection for a delicious and easy dinner option.

Ingredients

Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

Seasoning

  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • Salt, to taste
  • Black pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Season the chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides generously with salt and black pepper to enhance their flavor.
  2. Prepare the garlic parmesan mixture: In a small bowl, combine the minced garlic, grated Parmesan cheese, and melted butter, mixing well to create a flavorful coating.
  3. Coat the chicken: Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish and spread the garlic parmesan mixture evenly over each piece, ensuring full coverage.
  4. Bake until golden: Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C). Bake the chicken breasts uncovered for 25-30 minutes or until cooked through and golden brown on top. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  5. Rest and serve: Remove the dish from the oven and let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving to retain juiciness and flavor.

Notes

  • For extra crispiness, broil the chicken for 1-2 minutes at the end of baking, watching carefully to avoid burning.
  • You can add Italian herbs like oregano or basil to the garlic parmesan mixture for added flavor variety.
  • Serve with steamed vegetables or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
  • Ensure chicken is cooked to a safe internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) to prevent undercooking.
