Delicious Baked Paprika Parmesan Chicken

This Baked Paprika Parmesan Chicken is one of those everyone-should-know-how-to-make recipes. It’s easy and comes together quickly. In fact, it’s hard to mess up!


Ingredients:


  • 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts, trimmed
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (Fresh is better but use pregrated if necessary)
  • 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


Instructions:


  1. Preheat oven to 400°F.
  2. Set up 2 medium sized bowls.
  3. Beat 2 eggs in first bowl.
  4. Mix flour, parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper in a second bowl.
  5. Place a wire rack on a large baking sheet and brush the rack with oil.
  6. Dip chicken, 1 breast at a time, in egg mixture, then in parmesan/paprika mixture,
  7. turning to evenly coat both sides of each breast with each ingredient.
  8. Place on prepared baking sheet, in a single layer.
  9. Pour the melted butter evenly over the chicken.
  10. Bake for about 40-45 minutes in the preheated oven, until the cheese has browned, and the chicken has cooked.
  11. You can also finish them off under the broiler for a minute or two to get them extra browned on top.
  12. Serve with a veggie like these delicious fresh broccoli that I steamed.
  13. Season with a dash of fresh parsley, if desired.
