Garlic Parmesan Chicken:
Ingredients:
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

3. Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts and rub them to coat all sides evenly.
4. Press the garlic Parmesan mixture onto the chicken breasts, covering them completely with the mixture.
5. Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish or on a lined baking sheet.
6. Bake for about 20-25 minutes or until the chicken is cooked through and the coating is golden brown and crispy.
7. Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving.

This garlic Parmesan chicken goes well with a side of roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad. It can also be sliced and used in sandwiches or wraps. Enjoy the delicious flavors of garlic and Parmesan in this simple chicken dish!
Please note that cooking times may vary depending on the thickness of the chicken breasts, so it's essential to check for doneness by ensuring the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) or by cutting into the thickest part of the chicken to make sure it's no longer pink and the juices run clear.
Enjoy your delicious meal!
