Kitchen Equipment You’ll Need

• Baking dish
• Mixing bowl

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1/2 cup parmesan cheese
• 1 teaspoon seasoning salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Step-by-Step Instructions

3. Spread this mixture evenly over each chicken breast, ensuring they are well coated.
4. Place the coated chicken breasts in a baking dish.
5. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the top is golden brown.

Tips for Success

• Ensure the chicken breasts are of even thickness for uniform cooking.
• Let the chicken rest for a few minutes after baking to lock in the juices.

Additional Tips or Variations

• For extra flavor, add a teaspoon of Italian herbs to the mixture.
• If you prefer a crispy topping, sprinkle some breadcrumbs over the chicken before baking.
