Baked Paprika Parmesan Chicken

Ingredients:

4 skinless, boneless chicken breasts, trimmed

1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (fresh preferred, but pre-grated can be used)

2 teaspoons paprika

1/4 cup all-purpose flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon pepper

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

2 eggs, beaten

1/4 cup butter, melted

Directions:

Preheat Oven: Set your oven to preheat at 400°F (200°C).

Prepare Bowls: Use two medium-sized bowls. In the first bowl, beat the eggs. In the second bowl, mix

together the flour, Parmesan cheese, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper.

Prepare Baking Sheet: Place a wire rack on a large baking sheet and brush the rack with oil to prevent

sticking.

Coat Chicken: Dip each chicken breast into the egg mixture, then into the Parmesan-paprika mixture,

ensuring an even coat on both sides. Arrange the coated chicken in a single layer on the prepared rack.

Add Butter: Pour the melted butter evenly over the chicken pieces.

Bake: Bake in the preheated oven for 40-45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the

Parmesan crust is golden and crispy. For extra browning, you may broil for an additional 1-2 minutes.

Serve: Complement the chicken with steamed broccoli or your choice of vegetables. Garnish with fresh

parsley if desired.
