HOW TO MAKE BAKED PARMESAN CHICKEN
Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 375 degrees. Using cooking spray, grease a 9 x 13-inch pan. Inside the prepared pan, lay the chicken.
Step 2: Combine the remaining ingredients and evenly spread this on each piece. This will ensure the chicken won’t dry out while baking.
Step 3: On top of the chicken, sprinkle the remaining fresh Parmesan.
Step 4: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes, uncovered.
Step 5: Remove from the oven when done and serve the baked Parmesan chicken right away. Enjoy!
