Ingredients
  

For the Chicken
  • 4 pieces Boneless, skinless chicken breasts a lean protein base that stays juicy when cooked.
  • 4 cloves Fresh garlic adds a robust flavor that elevates the dish.
For the Coating
  • 1 cup Panko breadcrumbs provides an extra crispy texture while baking.
  • 2 tablespoons Olive oil helps the breadcrumbs brown beautifully and adds richness.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt enhances all the flavors for a well-seasoned bite.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Black pepper adds a gentle kick that complements the other spices.
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika infuses a sweet smokiness and a gorgeous color.
  • 1 teaspoon Dried oregano brings an aromatic herb note that brightens every bite.

Equipment

  • Oven
  • Baking sheet
  • Parchment paper
  • Mixing bowl
  • Meat thermometer

Method
 

  1. Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy clean-up.
  2. Prepare the chicken by patting the breasts dry with paper towels. Removing excess moisture is key to achieving a crisp crust.
  3. Mix the breadcrumb coating by combining panko breadcrumbs, minced garlic, paprika, oregano, salt, and pepper in a bowl. Drizzle in the olive oil and mix until the mixture is crumbly and evenly coated.
  4. Coat each chicken breast thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Press down gently to ensure a generous layer sticks to the chicken.
  5. Arrange the coated chicken on the prepared baking sheet, making sure to leave space between each piece. Bake for 25-30 minutes until the chicken is golden brown and reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (75°C).
  6. Rest the chicken for a few minutes before serving. This helps keep the juices locked in, making each bite even more delicious.
