Oven Baked Parmesan Paprika Skinless Boneless Chicken Breast

You can never have too many great chicken recipes. Put this one up there with the best you have. It has it all: wonderful spicy Parmesan taste, great texture, moist and oh so easy.

I based this off an allrecipe.com recipe. I added some panko bread crumbs and garlic since all chicken must have garlic at our house. With the Parmesan combined with paprika and garlic, you get a tasty main dish.

I'm having a really good cooking month. Another solid 5. Also makes a great leftover.

Notes: There is enough coating for 4 breasts but I only had three so the pictures are of 3 large breast but the recipe will say 4 so you can scale it correctly.

Preheat oven to 350 convection.

Trim, rinse and pat dry 3-4 skinless boneless chicken breasts.

Grate 1/2 cup of fresh Parmesan. Fresh is better but use pregrated if necessary.

Prep a baking pan. Aluminum foil for easy clean up, a rake to help crisp all sides and a good spray of PAM. If you don't have the rake, just spray or oil the foil.

Set up a dredge line with one egg wiped in pan one. In pan two add 1/4 c AP flour, 1/4 cup Panko bread crumbs, 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, 2 t paprika and 1/2 t each of salt, pepper and garlic powder. Dip the chicken breast in the egg, coat well and shank off excess.

Dip the chicken in the breading mixture and pat it on. Shake off the excess. Place on the prepared rake.

Add a little extra topping to each breast. Give them a light spray of PAM. Bake until internal temp of 165. About 35 minutes.
