Ingredients

  • 1 teaspoon dried basil leaves
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • 6 boneless skinless chicken breast halves
  • 1 clove garlic finely minced
  • cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
  • 1 cup dry breadcrumbs

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 350°F (175°C) and lightly coat a 9x13-inch baking dish with cooking spray. In one mixing bowl, stir together the olive oil and minced garlic until well combined. In a second bowl, combine the breadcrumbs, grated Parmesan cheese, dried basil, and black pepper. One at a time, dip each chicken breast into the olive oil mixture, ensuring full coverage, then coat thoroughly in the breadcrumb mixture. Place the coated chicken breasts into the prepared baking dish and sprinkle with any leftover breadcrumb mixture. Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, or until the internal temperature of the chicken reaches 165°F and the juices run clear. Serve immediately while hot.
