Sweetly Splendid - Baked Chicken

So yes, this is a basic baked chicken recipe. But hey, it’s a good one! I’m not a fan of the plain-jane, dried out, baked chicken breast. I like my baked chicken to have a crust on it. I also want the crust to be flavorful. So basically, I’m really picky about my baked chicken. I mean if it’s not going to have a crispy crust, I’d rather have grilled chicken.

Anywayyyyyyyyy… the fact that this recipe uses panko breadcrumbs is important. If you substitute them out for regular breadcrumbs, you won’t have the same result. I’ve tried also substituting out the egg for other things like ranch and mayo as some recipes call for, but it doesn’t give you the same flavor and crunch. This is one of those things that I’ve been making for years and years and it stays in my dinner rotation. One thing to be careful of is that when you spray your baking dish with Pam, be sure to not over spray it. If you spray too much Pam in the dish, the bottom of your chicken won’t crisp up correctly. Also, you can’t make this recipe straight from frozen chicken breasts. Unlike a majority of my recipes, the chicken does have to be thawed before starting.

Scale

Ingredients

  • 4 medium sized chicken breasts
  • 2 large eggs
  • 3 cups panko breadcrumbs
  • 1/2 tsp Pepper
  • 1/2 tsp Salt
  • 1 TBSP Mrs. Dash Garlic & Herb seasoning
  • 1 TBSP Parsley

Instructions

  1. Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
  2. Lightly spray 13 x 9 glass baking dish with Pam. Set aside.
  3. In a pie dish, add the two large eggs and whisk. Set aside.
  4. In a separate pie dish, add breadcrumbs and seasonings. Mix until fully combined.
  5. Taking one chicken breast at a time, dip the breast into the egg, making sure it is fully coated on all sides.
  6. Remove from the egg and dip into the breadcrumb mixture. Be sure to coat all sides and that you press it into the breadcrumbs.
  7. Lift the chicken breast from the breadcrumb mixture and shake to remove any excess.
  8. Place chicken breast into baking dish.
  9. Repeat with remaining chicken breasts.
  10. Bake in the oven for 25-35 minutes depending on thickness. The chicken needs to reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees.
  11. Once fully cooked, remove from oven and allow the chicken to cool for about 3-5 minutes before serving. This will allow the juices to redistribute and prevent them from running out immediately. Enjoy!

Instagram post 2171520820010373408_1609265341 I think I've actually only posted one other picture of myself on my feed. I know you guys want to see the food stuff, so that's what I give you! I figured what better time than now to participate in what Ryan from @texasforeverfarmhouse calls #girlbehindthesquare ! ----------------------- If you're new around here, I'm Kara. I grew up in a small New Mexico town, but have lived in Texas my entire adult life. I love cooking (it's my happy place), binge watching Friends, homemade ice cream, and a cozy pair of sweats. I love the conveniences of living in a city with millions of people, but also crave and miss small town life. I'm a girl mom and a wife to a small town guy from North Carolina. Our two extra large dogs are family and basically just hairy children. I'm an #enneagram6 so I'm loyal to a fault (even when it's not good for me) and a worrier by nature. My profession is equal parts accounting/business owner (of a security services company) + food blogger, although I don't show that part of my life often.  I'm so glad you stopped by my little corner of the internet. I'd love to get to know you better! How'd you find the blog? And most importantly, what's your favorite savory snack? Mine is 100% chips and queso!⁣

Instagram post 2172125567957451547_1609265341 Instant Pot Turkey Breast with Gravy... yes you read that right. Turkey in the Instant Pot! Whether you're serving a smaller crowd, you're looking for an easier way to prep turkey, or you want to avoid taking up space in the oven on Thanksgiving, this is a great solution! It's moist, juicy, and comes together from start to finish in less than an hour. Bonus points for the fact that you can cook the gravy right in the Instant Pot after the turkey is done and you have less dishes in the end.⁣
