Ingredients
4 boneless skinless chicken breasts (about 6 ounces each)
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1 teaspoon dried Italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1/4 cup plain breadcrumbs
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions
Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C).
Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil.
Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and place them in the prepared baking dish.
In a small bowl, mix together garlic powder, dried Italian seasoning, salt, and black pepper.
Sprinkle the seasoning mixture evenly over both sides of each chicken breast.
In another bowl, combine shredded mozzarella cheese, grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and chopped fresh parsley.
Evenly sprinkle the cheese and breadcrumb mixture over the top of each seasoned chicken breast.
Drizzle the tablespoon of olive oil evenly over the chicken breasts to help the topping brown.
Bake in the preheated oven for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden and bubbly. The internal temperature of the chicken should reach 165°F (74°C).
Remove from the oven and let rest for 5 minutes before serving.
