I have based this on my Easy Garlic and Basil Stuffed Chicken Breasts as a variation. I used panko but you could use plain dried breadcrumbs. This recipe can easily be doubled.

GARLIC BAKED TACO CHICKEN BREASTS



Garlic Baked Taco Chicken Breasts image

This is an updated version of a recipe I created some time ago. I found that by seasoning the chicken & allowing it to sit & marinate @ least 45 minutes, or longer if time permits, it has a more INDEPTH flavor, than it does if you just add IT TO THE TACO SEASONING. I was really surprised @ just how much flavor the chicken breasts...

Provided by Rose Mary Mogan

Categories     Chicken

Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 6

2 pkg taco seasoning mix
1 1/2 Tbsp granulated garlic (good quality) not garlic salt
1 Tbsp steak seasoning
7 bone in chicken breasts
1 1/2 c panko bread crumbs (japanese bread crumbs)
1 c parmesan cheese(grated)

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 425 degrees F. These are the main ingredients for the chicken minus the granulated Garlic. I used a restaurant style granulated Garlic.
  • 2. Using a large reclosable plastic bag, add the taco seasoning, along with the Panko Bread Crumbs and the grated Parmesan Cheese. Then shake to combine till the mixture is throughly mixed.
  • 3. Season the chicken generously with the granulated garlic and steak seasoning on both sides, then allow to sit and come to room temperature while the flavors marinate the chicken. NOTE: HAVING THE CHICKEN AT ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE PLACING IN THE OVEN ASSURES FOR AN EVEN COOKING TIME & TEMPERATURE.
  • 4. Add about 1 1/2 cups of the seasoned taco mixture to a separate platter or plate. Then add each piece of chicken to the platter and coat both sides of breast evenly. then place on prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the chicken has been coated. Add additional seasoning mix if needed.
  • 5. If there is any of the seasoned crumb mixture remaining in the bag, you can close it and keep it in the freezer for another use at a later time. The remaining crumb mixture has not been contaminated and you can use at a later time on chicken or pork Chops. Place chicken in preheated 425 degree F. oven and bake for about 50 minutes or until juices run clear.
  • 6. Remove from oven and serve while still hot. Serve with your favorite sides. Enjoy. You saved some calories by baking instead of frying, and the chicken is crispy & golden brown on the outside and moist and tender on the inside.

Tips:

  • To ensure evenly cooked chicken breasts, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C) before removing from the oven.
  • For crispier skin, pat the chicken breasts dry before seasoning and baking.
  • For a more flavorful dish, use a variety of herbs and spices to season the chicken. Some popular choices include paprika, oregano, thyme, and rosemary.
  • If you don't have a baking dish, you can also bake the chicken breasts on a sheet pan lined with parchment paper.
  • Serve the garlic baked chicken breasts with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or rice.

Conclusion:

Garlic baked chicken breasts are a simple but delicious dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With just a few ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a healthy and flavorful meal that the whole family will love. So next time you're looking for an easy and delicious dinner recipe, give garlic baked chicken breasts a try.
