Ingredients
Scale
- 2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
- 1/2 cup breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Instructions
- Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.

- In another bowl, mix together the Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and chopped parsley.

- Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown.
- Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving.
Notes
