BAKED HERBED CHICKEN BREASTS



Baked Herbed Chicken Breasts image

I got this recipe from one of my mom's church cookbooks. I always seem to find the best tasting recipe in church cookbooks! This recipe uses boneless chicken with a blend of spices to give it a wonderful taste. I usually make this with potatoes (prepared as fancy or simple as you like) and a vegetable. I also like to combine spices ahead of time. I've tried this by eliminating 1 or 2 spices when I was out and it still turns out wonderful.

Tips:

  • To ensure the chicken breasts are evenly cooked, use a meat thermometer to check that the internal temperature has reached 165°F (74°C).
  • Feel free to adjust the herbs and spices in the breading to suit your taste preferences. Paprika, garlic powder, or chili powder would all be great additions.
  • If you don't have a food processor, you can chop the herbs and nuts by hand. However, the food processor will give you a more consistent result.
  • To make the chicken breasts even more crispy, you can double-coat them in the breading.
  • Serve the chicken breasts immediately with your favorite sides. They go well with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a simple salad.

Conclusion:

These crunchy herbed chicken breasts are a delicious and easy-to-make meal that the whole family will enjoy. The combination of herbs, nuts, and Parmesan cheese gives the chicken a flavorful and crispy coating. Plus, they're baked, not fried, so they're a healthier option than traditional fried chicken. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy weeknight meal, give these chicken breasts a try!
