Recipe

Are you tired of the same old boring chicken dinners? Are you craving something crispy, cheesy, and downright delicious? Well, you're in luck, because I've got a recipe that will make your taste buds do a happy dance! Get ready to feast on the mouthwatering marvel that is Parmesan Crusted Chicken.

Ingredients:

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1 cup grated Parmesan cheese (the good stuff, none of that powdered stuff in a green can)

• 1 cup breadcrumbs (plain or seasoned, your choice)

• 2 eggs, beaten (they're about to get a serious workout)

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder (to keep those vampires at bay)

• 1 teaspoon paprika (for a little kick)

• Salt and pepper to taste (because seasoning is everything)

Instructions

1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (or 200°C for my metric friends). We're about to turn up the heat!

   

2. In a shallow dish, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. This is where the magic happens, so don't be shy with the cheese!

3. Dip each chicken breast into the beaten eggs, making sure to coat it evenly. Then, dredge it in the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, pressing down gently to ensure maximum coverage. Think of it as giving your chicken a cheesy hug.

4. Place the coated chicken breasts on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Pop those babies in the oven and let them bake for about 20-25 minutes, or until they're golden brown and crispy on the outside, and juicy on the inside. It's like a symphony of flavors in your mouth!

5. Once they're done baking, resist the urge to dive in right away (trust me, I know it's hard). Let the chicken rest for a few minutes to lock in all that cheesy goodness.

6. Serve up your Parmesan Crusted Chicken alongside your favorite sides – whether it's creamy mashed potatoes, crisp salad, or roasted veggies. The possibilities are endless!
