Ingredients

Units Scale

Chicken

  • 4 boneless skinless chicken breasts

Seasoning Mixture

  • 1 packet dry Italian dressing mix (about 1 ounce)
  • 1/2 cup grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 400 degrees Fahrenheit (204 degrees Celsius) to ensure it reaches the right temperature for baking the chicken evenly.
  2. Prepare the seasoning mixture: In a small bowl, combine the packet of dry Italian dressing mix, grated parmesan cheese, and garlic powder. Mix thoroughly to blend all the flavors well.
  3. Season the chicken: Rub the seasoning mixture evenly over the surface of each of the 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts, making sure they are well coated for maximum flavor.
  4. Arrange the chicken: Place the seasoned chicken breasts in a shallow baking dish, arranging them so they do not overlap for even cooking.
  5. Bake the chicken: Bake in the preheated oven for 20 to 25 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and no longer pink in the center. The internal temperature should reach 165°F (74°C).
  6. Serve and enjoy: Remove from the oven and let the chicken rest for a few minutes before serving to retain juices and maximize tenderness.

Notes

  • Use a meat thermometer to ensure the chicken is cooked safely to an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C).
  • For extra crispiness, you can broil the chicken for the last 2 minutes of baking but watch closely to avoid burning.
  • This recipe pairs well with steamed vegetables, rice, or a fresh garden salad.
  • If you prefer, substitute the dry Italian dressing packet with your favorite Italian seasoning blend.
  • Leftover chicken can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
