Description
This baked garlic parmesan chicken is juicy, flavorful, easy to make, and ready to serve in only 15 minutes.
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 large chicken breasts (skinless boneless)
- 1/2 cup parmesan cheese (fresh, grated)
- 2 tsp paprika
- 1 tsp salt (sea salt)
- 1/2 tsp black pepper
- 4 whole garlic cloves (minced)
- Avocado oil spray
- Fresh chopped parsley
Instructions
- Step: First, pre-heat your oven to 400 degrees. While your oven is preheating, mix your salt, pepper, and paprika in a bowl to make a spice blend, shred your parmesan cheese, and mince your garlic.
- Step: Take out a large baking dish or pan and spray with avocado oil. Then generously sprinkle the seasoning on both sides of your chicken and place it on the baking pan.
- Step: Sprinkle the minced garlic over each slice of chicken, then sprinkle on the parmesan, and finish it off by sprinkling some fresh chopped parsley. Finally, give a light spray of avocado oil on the top of your chicken.
- Step: Bake in the oven at 400 degrees for 15 minutes and promptly remove from your oven. Serve with your favorite sides and garnish with another light sprinkle of parsley.
Notes
Slicing the chicken breasts in half allows them to cook faster. Store in the refrigerator for 3-4 days in a container or ziplock bag.
