Baked Paprika Parmesan Chicken

This easy recipe takes breaded chicken breasts with a coating of parmesan and paprika until golden and crisp. This unique combination of ingredients is a fantastic dish that the whole family will love.

Ingredients

• 1/2 teaspoon salt
• 2 teaspoons paprika
• 1/2 teaspoon pepper
• 2 eggs, beaten
• 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1/4 cup butter, melted
• 4 skinless boneless chicken breasts, trimmed
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, grated (Fresh is better but use pregrated if necessary)

Instructions

First, Preheat the oven to 400 ° F.

Then, Set up 2 medium sized bowls.

Beat 2 eggs in the first bowl.

Mix the flour, parmesan, paprika, garlic powder, salt and pepper in a second bowl.

Place a rack on a large baking sheet and brush with oil.

Dip the chicken, 1 breast at a time, into the egg mixture, then into the parmesan / paprika mixture,

turning to coat both sides of each breast with each ingredient.

Place on a prepared baking sheet in a single layer.

Pour the melted butter evenly over the chicken.

Bake in preheated oven for 40 to 45 minutes, until cheese is browned and chicken is cooked.

You can also finish them under the grill for a minute or two to brown them further.

Serve with a vegetable like those delicious fresh broccoli that I steamed.

Season with a drizzle of fresh parsley, if desired. Happy Cooking TimeJ
