BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH PARMESAN CRUST



Baked Chicken Breasts with Parmesan Crust image

Another great recipe from Food Network!!

Provided by Carol Perricone

Categories     Chicken

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 Tbsp dijon mustard
1/2 tsp thyme leaves, chopped
kosher salt
1/4 tsp cayenne pepper
4 chicken breasts, boneless and skinless
3/4 c parmesan cheese
3/4 c panko bread crumbs, or dried coarse baquette breadcrumbs
cooking spray

Steps:

  • 1. Preheat oven to 450 degrees.
  • 2. Mix mustard, thyme, 1/2 tsp salt and the cayenne pepper in a medium bowl. Add the chicken breasts, turn to coat completely, set aside.
  • 3. In medium shallow bowl, combine parmesan cheese and panko breadcrumbs. Dredge the chicken pieces in panko mixture, pressing coating into the meat.
  • 4. Put chicken on a rack over a baking sheet. Spray chicken with a quick burst of cooking spray; and place in middle of the oven. Bake until chicken is golden brown, and cooked through, about 20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before cutting and serving.

Tips:

  • To achieve a crispy and flavorful crust, use a combination of grated Parmesan cheese, bread crumbs, and seasonings. Experiment with different types of bread crumbs, such as panko or seasoned bread crumbs, to add variety to the taste and texture.
  • Make sure the chicken breasts are evenly coated with the Parmesan crust mixture. Press the mixture firmly onto the chicken to ensure it adheres well. This will help create a golden brown and crispy crust during baking.
  • For a more tender and juicy chicken, marinate it in a mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, and herbs before coating it with the Parmesan crust. This will help infuse the chicken with flavor and prevent it from drying out during baking.
  • Bake the chicken at a high temperature (400°F or 200°C) for a shorter period of time (20-25 minutes) to achieve a crispy crust without overcooking the chicken. Keep an eye on the chicken to prevent it from burning.
  • Serve the Parmesan-crusted chicken immediately with your favorite sides, such as roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. You can also drizzle it with melted butter, lemon juice, or a creamy sauce to enhance the flavor.

Conclusion:

Parmesan-crusted chicken is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed for lunch, dinner, or even as an appetizer. The crispy Parmesan crust adds a delightful flavor and texture to the tender and juicy chicken, making it a crowd-pleasing recipe. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this dish is sure to become a staple in your home cooking repertoire. Experiment with different variations of the recipe, such as using different types of cheese, bread crumbs, and seasonings, to create your own unique and flavorful Parmesan-crusted chicken.
