Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 or 3 chicken breasts, cut in half horizontally
  • 3 teaspoons paprika, divided
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 teaspoon instant chicken bouillon (optional)
  • 1 or 2 tablespoons lemon juice
  • 4 tablespoons melted unsalted butter
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3/4 cup freshly grated parmesan
  • 1/2 teaspoon fresh cracked black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon minced garlic (or garlic powder)
  • 1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
  • 1 tablespoon fresh chopped parsley, plus more for garnish
  • 1 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes, optional

Instructions

To make the baked garlic parmesan chicken: Position a rack in the center of your oven and preheat to 400ºF (200°C).
Season chicken cutlets generously with salt, pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, lemon juice, instant chicken bouillon (if using), and one teaspoon of paprika and arrange in a baking dish.
In a bowl, combine melted butter, olive oil, parmesan, pepper, minced garlic, two teaspoons of paprika, parsley, red chili pepper flakes, and Italian seasoning.

Pour the mixture over the chicken cutlets in the baking dish – keeping some for serving later, if you like.
Bake the garlic parmesan chicken for 15–20 minutes – depending on your oven. Chicken is done when cooked to an internal temperature of 165˚F (75°C).
Serve the baked garlic parmesan chicken immediately, with a side of cauliflower rice, or baked veggies and the remaining sauce to dip. Enjoy!

Notes

You can make this dish spicier by increasing the red chili flakes.
If you don’t have fresh parsley, dried parsley works in a pinch.
Serve with rice, pasta, or vegetables for a balanced meal.
