Ingredients

• 4 pieces Chicken breasts (boneless, skinless)
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon Smoked paprika
• 1 teaspoon Dried oregano
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
• 0.5 cup Parmesan cheese (grated)
• 0.25 cup Breadcrumbs (preferably panko)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped)
• 4 pieces Lemon wedges (for serving)

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven's broiler to high heat and place the oven rack about 6 inches from the heat source.

Step 2

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and lightly pound them to an even thickness (around 1 inch thick) for even cooking.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, garlic powder, smoked paprika, dried oregano, salt, and ground black pepper to create the marinade.

Step 4

Brush the chicken breasts evenly with the marinade on all sides, ensuring they are well coated.

Step 5

In a separate bowl, mix together the parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and parsley to create the topping mixture.

Step 6

Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and lightly grease it with olive oil or non-stick cooking spray.

Step 7

Place the chicken breasts on the prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Step 8

Sprinkle the parmesan and breadcrumb mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast, gently pressing it down to adhere.

Step 9

Broil the chicken in the oven for 15-20 minutes, or until the internal temperature reaches 165°F (74°C) and the topping is golden and crisp. Rotate the baking sheet halfway through cooking for even broiling.

Step 10

Once cooked, remove the chicken from the oven and let it rest for 5 minutes before serving.

Step 11

Serve the Broiled Chicken Deluxe with fresh lemon wedges and garnish with additional chopped parsley if desired.
