📝 Ingredients:

  • 🍗 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts
  • 🥄 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 🌶️ 1 teaspoon paprika
  • 🌶️ 1 teaspoon chili powder
  • 🌶️ 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 🧄 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 🧅 1/2 teaspoon onion powder
  • 🌿 1/2 teaspoon dried oregano
  • 🧂 Salt and ⚫ black pepper to taste
  • 🧀 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 🧄 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 🧈 1/4 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 🌱 Fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)

📋 Directions:

  1. Preheat the Oven:
    Preheat your oven to 375°F. Lightly grease a baking dish or line it with parchment paper.
  2. Prepare the Chicken:
    Pat the chicken breasts dry with a paper towel. Rub both sides with olive oil.
  3. Season the Chicken:
    In a small bowl, mix paprika, chili powder, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, onion powder, oregano, salt, and pepper. Generously season both sides of the chicken breasts with the spice mixture.
  4. Bake the Chicken:
    Place the chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish. Bake for 25–30 minutes, or until the chicken reaches an internal temperature of 165°F.
  5. Prepare the Garlic Butter Topping:
    While the chicken bakes, mix the melted butter, minced garlic, and grated Parmesan cheese in a small bowl.
  6. Add the Topping:
    Remove the chicken from the oven and spoon the garlic butter Parmesan mixture over each fillet. Spread it evenly.
  7. Broil for a Crispy Finish:
    Turn the oven to broil. Place the chicken back in the oven for 2–3 minutes, or until the topping is bubbly and golden.
  8. Garnish and Serve:
    Remove the chicken from the oven, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve immediately. Pair with roasted vegetables, mashed potatoes, or a fresh salad for a complete meal.
