Curried Parmesan Encrusted Baked Chicken Breasts Recipes

BAKED PARMESAN-CRUSTED CHICKEN

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Melt the butter with the garlic in a saucepan over medium heat. When the butter starts to bubble, remove from the heat and allow to cool slightly. Stir the breadcrumbs together with the Parmesan cheese, thyme, basil, oregano, pepper, and salt in a bowl. Dip the chicken breasts in the butter, then press into the seasoned bread crumbs. Place the chicken into a 9x13 inch baking dish.
• Bake in the preheated oven until the chicken is golden brown and no longer pink in the center, 50 to 55 minutes.

BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS WITH PARMESAN CRUST

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Mix the mustard, thyme, 1/2 teaspoon salt and the cayenne in a medium bowl. Add the chicken breasts and turn to coat completely; set aside. In a medium shallow bowl, combine the parmesan and panko. Dredge the chicken pieces in the panko mixture, coating evenly and heavily, and pressing the coating into the meat. Put the chicken on a rack set over a baking sheet, spray with a quick burst of cooking spray and put the sheet in the middle of the oven. Bake until the chicken is golden and cooked through, 15 to 20 minutes. Let rest 5 minutes before cutting or serving.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with cooking spray.

CURRIED PARMESAN ENCRUSTED BAKED CHICKEN BREASTS

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375.
• Take breasts out of refrigerator and allow to come to room temperature.
• Meanwhile, set up your "breading station". Using two pie plates, in one pie plate, beat eggs and 1 tablespoon milk well. Add 1 teaspoon salt, 1 teaspoon pepper and 1 teaspoon curry powder. Mix in well.
• In another pie plate, add bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese. Combine well.
• Cover breasts with plastic wrap and beat out to about 1/4" thick.
• Pat breasts dry and sprinkle lightly with very seasoning salt (chicken will get more salt from the Parmesan cheese, so don't overdo it). Using remaining salt and pepper, season both sides of breasts.
• Take remaining curry powder and coat both sides of breasts and rub into meat.
• Seasoning and breading can be done ahead of time and placed, covered, and placed in refrigerator. Just bring to room temp before proceeding with baking process. Recommend doing so to let the flavors infuse into the breasts.
• Take one breast at a time and dredge in egg mixture, allowing excess to drain off. Immediately lay in bread crumb mixture, coating all sides. Pat into breasts really well.
• Line large baking sheet with aluminum foil. Place seasoned and breaded breasts on sheet and dot with the 2 tablespoons of butter. This really helps the breasts brown up nicely.
• Bake at 375 for approximately 30 minutes. Test for doneness.
