Instructions

Step 1: Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). In a shallow bowl, combine 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese and 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs.
Step 2: Season 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts with 1 tsp salt and 1/2 tsp black pepper. Press each breast firmly into the Parmesan-panko mixture to coat both sides.
Step 3: Heat 3 tbsp olive oil in a large oven-safe skillet over medium-high heat. Add the coated chicken breasts and sear for 3 minutes on each side until golden brown.
Step 4: Transfer the skillet to the oven and bake the chicken for 15 minutes until cooked through (internal temperature 165°F).
Step 5: Meanwhile, melt 4 tbsp unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Add 3 minced garlic cloves and 2 tbsp chopped fresh parsley, cooking gently for 2 minutes until fragrant.
Step 6: Remove the chicken from the oven and drizzle with the garlic herb butter sauce before serving warm with your choice of sides.
