Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 4 pieces boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese Can substitute with dairy-free alternative.
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 teaspoon dried Italian herbs
  • to taste Salt and pepper
  • for garnish Fresh parsley, optional

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C).
  2. Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season lightly with salt and pepper for enhanced flavor.
  3. In a small bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, minced garlic, olive oil, and dried Italian herbs. Mix until it forms a spreadable paste.
  4. Generously apply this creamy mixture over each chicken breast, pressing it down gently to ensure it adheres.
  5. Place the coated chicken breasts in a lightly oiled baking dish, arranging them in a single layer.
Cooking
  1. Bake for approximately 15 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F and the cheese is beautifully golden.
  2. Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before slicing. If you like, garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.

Notes

Serve with a light salad, creamy mashed potatoes, or roasted veggies. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container for up to three days or frozen for up to three months. Always reheat to an internal temperature of 165°F.
