Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 400°F (200°C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. In a bowl, combine 1/2 cup breadcrumbs, 1/4 cup grated parmesan, 2 minced garlic cloves, 1 tbsp chopped fresh rosemary, 1 tsp salt, and 1/2 tsp pepper.
Step 2: Place 4 chicken thighs on a plate. Drizzle with 2 tbsp olive oil and rub evenly. Press the breadcrumb mixture onto the chicken, ensuring full coverage.
