Baked Parmesan Crusted Chicken Breast

Submitted by BlondieItaliana

"Classic coated chicken cutlet recipe only they are baked instead of fried which also makes this an easy recipe to prepare ahead then refrigerate until ready to cook. To add some kick, you could add a dash of red pepper flakes to the coating. These go great with a side of creamy Italian or ranch salad dressing or served with rice, risotto, or pasta."

Great recipe. I am looking for more non-frying options and I thought it was delicious and simple to make.

This is okay in a pinch. I was hoping it would have more of a crust on the outside. It was kind of mushy.

I thought it had a good flavor and was very moist. Nice change to ordinary chicken!

For such a simple recipe, with ingredients I always have on hand, this is delicious! Double the recipe and freeze half before cooking. I wouldn't hesitate to serve this to guests.
