Test Kitchen Review

Our Test Kitchen fell head over heels for this Garlic Parmesan Chicken recipe. It’s crispy, savory, and packed with flavor—a perfect dish for weeknight dinners or special occasions.

Why I Love Garlic Parmesan Chicken

This recipe combines the irresistible flavors of garlic and Parmesan cheese with tender chicken breasts. It’s quick to prepare, easy to customize, and pairs beautifully with a variety of side dishes.

Key Ingredients

• Chicken Breasts: Boneless, skinless, and perfect for baking or frying.

• Garlic: Freshly minced for bold flavor.

• Parmesan Cheese: Freshly grated for optimal taste.

• Breadcrumbs: Panko or regular breadcrumbs for a crispy coating.

• Butter: Adds richness and helps the coating adhere.

• Herbs & Spices: Basil, parsley, salt, and pepper for a well-rounded flavor.

How to Make Garlic Parmesan Chicken

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).

2. Prepare the chicken by seasoning it with salt and pepper.

3. Combine breadcrumbs, Parmesan, and spices in a shallow dish.

4. Dip each chicken breast in melted butter, then coat with the breadcrumb mixture.

5. Place the chicken on a baking sheet and bake for 20-25 minutes, or until golden brown and cooked through.

Chef’s Tips and Variations

• Crispier Coating: Add a drizzle of olive oil to the breadcrumbs before coating the chicken.

• Air Fryer Option: Cook at 375°F for 12-15 minutes, flipping halfway.

• Spicy Twist: Add red pepper flakes to the breadcrumb mixture for a kick.
