Ingredients
  • 6 Boneless, chicken breast
Directions
  1. 1
    Preheat oven to 400&# 194;°F (200ðC). Lightly spray a 15x10-inch baking pan with non-stick cooking spray.
  2. 2
    In a shallow bowl, combine melted margarine (or butter) for dipping.
  3. 3
    In a separate shallow dish, mix together the grated Parmesan cheese, dry bread crumbs, dried oregano leaves, parsley flakes, paprika, salt, and black pepper.
  4. 4
    Pat chicken breasts dry with paper towels. Dip each chicken breast into the melted margarine, ensuring it is fully coated.
  5. 5
    Press the margarine-coated chicken into the Parmesan breadcrumb mixture, coating all sides thoroughly.
  6. 6
    Place the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking pan.
  7. 7
    Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is golden brown and cooked through (internal temperature of 165ðF).
  8. 8
    For a spicy variation, substitute ground red pepper for the black pepper in the coating mixture.
