Description
A deliciously crispy chicken dish coated with savory cheddar and crunchy panko breadcrumbs, perfect for family dinners or gatherings.
Ingredients
Scale
- 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
- 2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
- 1 cup milk
- 1 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

- Mix in a shallow bowl, combine the shredded cheddar, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

- Place the coated chicken breasts onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them evenly for proper cooking.
- Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked (reaching an internal temperature of 165ยฐF) and the coating is golden brown.
- Garnish the chicken with chopped parsley and serve immediately while hot.
Notes
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to three days. Reheat in the oven to maintain crispiness.
