100% Parmesan Chicken
This Italian-inspired main dish features boneless chicken breasts coated in a savoury mix of grated parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, and dried herbs. The chicken is first dipped in melted butter before being rolled in the dry mixture, creating a flavourful crust. It is then baked in the oven until perfectly cooked through. The result is a wonderfully cheesy and tasty chicken dinner that is simple to prepare.
