BAKED PARMESAN CRUSTED CHICKEN RECIPE

Baked Parmesan Crusted Chicken is perfect Friday night finger food. Covered in a perfect crust that is dip-able, you won’t be able to get enough of this crispy chicken recipe! Personally, when it comes to weekends, I am ready to take it easy on the cooking but I still want something delicious.

I also love that this recipe is so budget friendly.

I usually have all these ingredients on hand in the pantry, so all I need to do is either buy or thaw chicken and dinner is basically done.

Here some tips for you :

• To make sure the breading stays put and forms that fantastic crispy crust everyone is looking for, take a paper towel and pat off the chicken before your dredge it.  Just be sure to toss it directly in the trash – no cross-contamination, please!
• I also always use disposable gloves when cutting and dredging chicken like this.  It makes it so much easier to keep my hands and the kitchen clean.
• To keep the mess to a minimum for a dredging assembly line, line up your cutting board next to the dishes with the butter and crumbs, making sure you have no space between.  Place your baking dish at the end of the line and voila!  a neat and tidy dredge.
