Instructions

Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a baking sheet.

Mix the Coating: In a shallow bowl, combine shredded cheddar cheese, panko breadcrumbs, garlic powder, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Dip and Coat: Pour milk into another shallow bowl. Dip each chicken breast in the milk, ensuring it’s fully coated, then dredge the chicken in the breadcrumb and cheese mixture, pressing gently to coat all sides evenly.

Arrange for Baking: Place the coated chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet, making sure they are spaced evenly apart.

Bake to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for 35-40 minutes, or until the chicken is thoroughly cooked and the coating is golden and crispy.

Garnish and Serve: Remove the chicken from the oven and garnish with freshly chopped parsley. Serve immediately while hot

Notes

Cheese Variety: You can experiment with different cheeses, such as mozzarella or parmesan, for variations in flavor.

Serving Suggestions: Serve with a side of vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.

Crispier Coating: For an extra crispy texture, broil the chicken for the last 2-3 minutes of baking.
