Ingredients
  

4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

1 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 cup breadcrumbs (preferably panko for extra crunch)

2 tablespoons fresh parsley, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh thyme, finely chopped

1 tablespoon fresh oregano, finely chopped

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 large eggs

1 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/2 teaspoon paprika

1/4 cup flour

Olive oil or cooking spray for greasing the baking dish

Instructions
 

Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Lightly grease a baking dish with olive oil or cooking spray.

    Prepare the Coating: In a medium bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, parsley, thyme, oregano, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Mix well until all ingredients are evenly distributed.

      Set up a Dredging Station: In one shallow dish, place the flour. In a second shallow bowl, beat the eggs until well combined.

        Dredge the Chicken: Take each chicken breast and first coat it in the flour, shaking off any excess. Next, dip it into the beaten eggs, ensuring it's completely covered. Finally, press the chicken breast into the Parmesan herb mixture, coating it thoroughly on both sides. Repeat for all chicken breasts.

          Arrange in Baking Dish: Place the coated chicken breasts in the greased baking dish, making sure they are not overcrowded.

            Bake the Chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the crust is golden brown and crispy. An internal temperature of 165°F (75°C) should be reached.

              Serve: Once done, remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes. Serve hot, garnished with additional fresh herbs if desired.

                Enjoy! Pair this flavorful chicken with a fresh salad, steamed vegetables, or your favorite grain for a complete meal.
