• 2 tablespoons dry Italian seasoning mix
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon lemon juice
• 3 cloves minced garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon salt

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels and season both sides with salt and black pepper.

Step 3

In a small bowl, whisk together the ranch seasoning, Italian seasoning, olive oil, lemon juice, and minced garlic until well combined.

Step 4

Place the chicken breasts in a baking dish in a single layer. Pour the seasoning mixture over the chicken, ensuring each piece is evenly coated.

Sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese evenly over the tops of the chicken breasts.

Step 6

Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes.

Step 7

Remove the foil and bake uncovered for an additional 8-10 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F (74°C) and the Parmesan is golden and bubbly.

Step 8

Garnish the chicken with fresh chopped parsley before serving.

Step 9

Serve hot with your choice of sides, such as roasted vegetables, pasta, or a crisp green salad.
