Baked garlic parmesan chicken recipe
This baked chicken recipe is simple and goes with anything, so you can make a quick dinner everyone will remember for a long time! Garlic and parmesan go hand in hand and form a delicious crust on top of the baked chicken breasts. We like serving it with cauliflower rice or roasted veggies for a low-carb/keto dinner option, but nothing prevents you from trying with rice, bulgur, or pasta.
How to make garlic parmesan chicken Bake
Slice chicken to make thin cutlets that you season generously with spices. Then make the sauce with melted butter, parmesan, spices, and herbs. Pour the sauce over the chicken in a baking dish, then bake at 400ºF (200ºC) for 15 to 20 minutes. Quick, simple, delicious! Scroll down for detailed instructions.

Directions
1. To make the baked garlic parmesan chicken: Position a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 400ºF (200°C).
2. Season chicken cutlets generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, instant chicken bouillon (if using), and one teaspoon of paprika and arrange in a baking dish.
3. In a bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, parmesan, pepper, minced garlic, two teaspoons of paprika, parsley, red chili pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning. Pour the mixture over the chicken cutlets in the baking dish – keeping some for serving later, if you like.
4. Bake the garlic parmesan chicken for 15-20 minutes – depending on your oven. Chicken is done when cooked to an internal temperature of 165˚F (75°C). Serve the baked garlic parmesan chicken immediately, with a side of cauliflower rice, or baked veggies and the remaining sauce to dip. Enjoy! ❤️

Tips for the baked garlic parmesan chicken breasts recipe
- We slice the chicken breasts to make them thinner and cook quickly. Feel free to keep them whole to make the dish more substantial, or cut them into cubes for even faster cooking!
- We love a kick of spice: add some hot sauce like Sriracha to the garlic parmesan sauce for a spicier flavor.
How to keep baked chicken leftovers
Keep any baked garlic parmesan chicken leftovers in an airtight container in your refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat in the oven or microwave, adding a few drops of water to loosen the sauce.

This is a wonderful recipe for chicken! Yum! My family loved it. The only thing I will do next time is make extra topping and stir it into the steamed cauliflower rice. It will give the rice the same great flavor of the chicken.

This dish was amazing! My parents said it was the best dish I ever made. I sent the recipe to them and they can't wait to make it again. I added chopped onion to the recipe and felt like it added a good element to the dish.

This was delicious!! I've made it a few times now and served it with something different each time. My favourite is with couscous and salad - chicken is so full of flavour, definitely a keeper!

My wife and I are always looking for new recipes to cook for our dinners, and our two kids because they are picky eaters and we hate wasting food. The kids loved it, and also so did my wife and I. Definetly keeping this as a fan favorite. The chicken came out moist and very flavorful.
