This baked parmesan chicken breast is coated in a buttery garlic mixture, then dredged in a crispy blend of parmesan and breadcrumbs for a golden, flavorful crust. It bakes up tender and juicy with minimal prep, making it a perfect weeknight dinner or family favorite.
Preheat oven to 350℉. Line a baking sheet with parchment and set aside.
In pie plate mix bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, salt and parsley if using. Measure out a third of a cup and set aside. In a mix bowl whisk together mustard powder, Worcestershire sauce, garlic powder, and melted butter until well blended.
Using tongues, dip chicken breast, one at a time into the butter mixture, allowing excess to drip back into the bowl. Dredge in the parmesan crumb mixture to thorough cover both sides. Place on the prepared baking sheet. Repeat for all 4 pieces of chicken. Lightly spray the chicken top of the chicken breasts with olive oil cooking spray. Bake at 350℉ for 20 minutes, uncovered. Carefully turn over each chicken breast and sprinkle each with reserved crumbs for an extra crispy coating, and spray again lightly with cooking spray. Return to oven and bake for another 20 minutes uncovered, or until internal temperature reaches 165℉ or 74℃.
