Directions:
Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper or lightly grease it.
Prepare the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine Parmesan cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper.
Coat the Chicken: Brush each chicken breast with olive oil or melted butter. Press each chicken breast into the Parmesan mixture, coating both sides well and pressing down to adhere.
Bake the Chicken: Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 20-25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and golden brown. (Internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C.)
Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve hot.
