Parmesan Chicken

Everyone needs a few recipes in their “repertoire” that are quick, easy, and that no one is going to complain about. (Well, a girl can dream, can’t she?) ;-) These are the recipes you lean on when you need to get dinner on the table, but don’t have the time or patience to try out a new recipe. I have a handful of ol’ reliable recipes that I turn to on such occasions, and today I’ll be sharing one of them with you–my easy and delicious Parmesan chicken!

The thing I love most about this recipe is that I almost always have the ingredients on hand. (I always keep one of those bags of frozen chicken breasts from Costco in my freezer for just such occasions. I highly recommend it!) And while I might not keep bread crumbs on hand, it’s super simple to toast up a couple of slices of sandwich bread for homemade bread crumbs. The other ingredients are Parmesan cheese, garlic powder, and butter, and I generally keep those well-stocked. With this recipe, I’m usually able to make dinner on the fly without having to run to the grocery store!

Another thing I love about this recipe is that you only need about 10 minutes or so to put it together. After that, you just let your oven work its magic! The chicken comes out moist and juicy, and the bread crumb coating is crisp, buttery, and flavorful. This meal is almost guaranteed to please even the pickiest eaters, which is nice on those hard days where you could use a win. My kids actually like this recipe so much that they request it regularly! So give this quick and easy recipe a try, and I’m sure it’ll be just as much of a hit as it is at my house! :-)

Ingredients:

  • 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 2 cups bread crumbs*
  • 2/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 tsp. garlic powder
  • 1 stick melted butter

*Note: It’s easy to make this recipe gluten free! Just toast up a couple of slices of gluten free sandwich bread, then toss them in your blender or food processor and pulse until you have coarse crumbs.

Directions:

I usually start by cutting each chicken breast in half lengthwise, but it’s just a personal preference. Feel free to keep them whole if you prefer.

Next, melt the butter in a shallow dish using your microwave.

Hi Jillee
I MUST make a comment on this chicken dish and my comment is this…your pic of the chicken upon going into the oven LOOKS like more than just 4 chicken breasts halved…there are a LOT of chicken pieces in thet dish…that HAS to be more than 4 breasts right?

Almost the same as what I make. Got this recipe from Taste of Home magazine years ago and been making this ever since. Only difference is to whisk in 2 tsp of Deli Style Mustard & 1 tsp Worcestershire Sauce to the melted butter. Very yummy!!

Kraft grated Parmesan cheese contains cellulose as well as most pre-grated cheese has cellulose added to prevent clumping.
Check the labels. Classico brand is currently cellulose free.

That casserole dish really looks crowded. Does all the chicken get crispy or only the tops? Seems like for all the chicken to get crisp, you would put on a rack placed in a foil lined baking sheet with sides. Looks like the chicken would be soggy placed so close together.

It’s not soggy, but it would definitely be crispier baked on a rack :-)

I have made this in a slightly different way. Instead of dipping the chicken in butter, I dip it in mayo and powdered Parmesan, no breadcrumbs. Pretty good and plenty fattening. But yummm

I coat the chicken in beaten egg then in powdered parmesan. Not only is it tasty, but it’s lower in fat and has low carbohydrates as well as being gluten free……………….real mayo has no carbs as well (must try it that way)

You can make it gluten free also by dipping it in almond meal instead of bread crumbs.

I have a recipe very similar to this which my family loves too. We call it Crunchy chicken. Done much the same as this one except make sure chicken is wet (water works) before dipping in crumb mix, to which I add Ranch Dressing (powder). Mix 1/2 c. olive oil with chopped garlic to taste (I buy big jars of chopped garlic at Costco). Put in greased baking dish, pour olive oil mix over chicken, and bake at 350 for 45 or so minutes.
