Step 3: Season the Chicken
Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Season with salt and pepper to enhance the taste.
Step 4: Coat the Chicken
- Dip each chicken breast into the melted butter, making sure it’s fully coated.
- Press the butter-coated chicken into the parmesan mixture, ensuring an even crust on all sides.
Step 5: Bake to Perfection
Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F (75°C) and the coating is golden brown.
Step 6: Rest and Serve
Let the chicken rest for 5 minutes before serving. This allows the juices to redistribute, making every bite juicy and flavorful.
