Best 5 Baked Chicken With Herb Crumbs Recipes

HERB BAKED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper. If using aluminum foil, lightly coat with non-stick spray.
• In a small bowl, mix together all of the spices and set aside.
• Place the chicken drumsticks into a large bowl. Make sure they have already been pat dried with a paper towel. Add olive oil and using your hands, toss to coat.
• Sprinkle in the seasoning mix and using your hands again, toss the drumsticks making sure each piece is thoroughly coated with the seasoning.
• Arrange the drumsticks on the prepared baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes. Then flip the drumsticks and roast for additional 25-30 minutes. If desired, broil for 2-3 minutes for extra crispy skin.

PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Set up three large shallow bowls in an assembly line. Put the flour in the first bowl; beat the eggs in the second bowl; and mix the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, salt, pepper, and chopped fresh herbs in the third bowl.
• Season chicken breasts with salt and pepper. Dredge the first chicken breast in the flour and shake off the excess until just a light coating remains. Next, dip the chicken in the egg mixture and turn to coat evenly, letting any excess egg drip off. Finally, dredge the chicken in the bread crumb mixture, turning a few times to coat well. Set breaded chicken on a plate and repeat until all of the chicken breasts are breaded.
• Heat the oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the chicken breasts to the pan and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until the first side is golden brown. Flip and continue cooking until done, 2 to 3 minutes longer. Serve immediately with lemon wedges.
• Note: If chicken breasts are large (8 or more ounces), it's best to cut them in half once they are pounded out. Alternatively, you can cut them in half horizontally before pounding.

CHICKEN, ARTICHOKE AND BROCCOLI BAKE WITH HERB BREAD CRUMBS

Steps:

• Heat oven to 400 degrees. In a 3-quart baking dish, combine chicken, broccoli florets and 2 tablespoons oil; season with salt and pepper. Toss to evenly coat, spread broccoli in an even layer and arrange chicken breasts on top.
• In a large bowl, combine artichokes, broth, capers, butter, garlic and 2 tablespoons oil and season with salt and pepper. Gently toss, then spoon mixture over chicken and broccoli. Bake until chicken is cooked through and artichokes are golden in spots, 30 to 35 minutes.
• Meanwhile, in a small skillet, heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil over medium. Add panko, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring frequently, until golden and crisp, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a bowl to cool, then stir in dill and season with salt and pepper.
• Divide chicken and vegetables among shallow bowls and spoon over some of the pan juices. Squeeze with lemon and top with dill bread crumbs.

CRISPY GARLIC BREADCRUMB CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F (230 degrees C).
• Season chicken breasts on both sides with salt, black pepper, and cayenne.
• Heat olive oil in an oven-safe skillet over high heat. Add chicken breasts. Sear, untouched, until bottoms release from the pan, about 2 minutes. Flip and cook for 2 minutes more.
• Reduce heat to medium-low. Add butter and let melt. Add panko bread crumbs. Cook and stir until breadcrumbs start to turn golden, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Turn off heat and add parsley and Parmigiano-Reggiano. Set breading aside.
• Combine mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, and Dijon mustard in a small bowl. Spread 'glue' over the top and sides of the chicken breasts. Spoon over the the breadcrumb mixture. Use a spatula to transfer chicken breasts back to the skillet. Pour chicken broth around the chicken.
• Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, 10 to 12 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the chicken should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Transfer chicken to a plate and let rest while you make the pan sauce.
• Pour chicken broth and lemon juice into the pan. Bring to a boil over high heat and add balsamic vinegar. Boil until sauce is reduced, about 2 minutes. Strain sauce and spoon around chicken.

BAKED CHICKEN WITH HERB CRUMBS

Steps:

• Cut off the wing tips of both chickens and set aside with the necks and gizzards (these can be wrapped and frozen for use in stock or soup). Holding one chicken on its side, cut through the backbone beginning at the neck end with a sharp knife. Spread the chicken open, lay it bone side down on the table, and press it against the table with your hands to flatten it. Pull off the skin; it should come off easily except, perhaps, around the wings. Remove what you can. Repeat with the other chicken.
• Place the two chickens flesh side up on a jellyroll pan and rub with 1 tablespoon of the oil and the Tabasco. Sprinkle with salt. Cover and refrigerate until cooking time.
• Prepare the herb coating. Put the bread slices in the bowl of a food processor and process until they are crumbs. Chop the fresh thyme and fresh oregano in a food processor or by hand with a sharp knife. Combine the bread crumbs; the chopped thyme, oregano and parsley; the black pepper, and the remaining 2 tablespoons oil. Toss gently to coat the bread crumbs lightly with the oil.
• When ready to cook, preheat oven to 400 degrees.
• Pat the herb coating lightly over the surface of the chickens. Place in oven and bake 30 to 35 minutes until the crumbs are nicely browned. Remove and let sit for 10 minutes. Cut into pieces and serve.
