Garlic Parmesan Chicken

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

This past weekend was beautiful! The weather was warm and sunny, a little windy as usual in Saskatchewan, but beautiful just the same. Come supper time on Sunday I was left trying to figure out what to make for supper and after searching Pinterest ended up with this garlic Parmesan chicken recipe that was so good, all my kids ate it and wanted more!

My kids basically love anything with cheese, and will eat anything made with cheese. They like my cheeseburger soup, despite telling me they don’t like soup.

They really love my chicken with Parmesan and bacon (and ranch dressing).  You may have noticed we eat a lot of chicken… there is a better chance my darling children will eat supper if it is chicken.

I am a big fan of chicken, but so many of the recipes that have bread crumb coating where you are using an egg bath to make the crumbs stick. But that is not how we are doing it with this recipe.

In this recipe we are using EVOO (extra virgin olive oil) for our bath to help make the bread crumbs stick.

How to make Garlic Parmesan Chicken

What you need:

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan
  • 1/2 cup bread crumbs
  • 1 tsp basil
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 2 tbsp EVOO
  • 3-4 chicken breasts

The steps to make this garlic Parmesan chicken breast:

Take a couple tablespoons of olive oil and a tablespoon of garlic powder and mix them together in a shallow bowl. I used 3 large chicken breast and still had oil left over so don’t use too much.

In your other dish you are going to mix together the bread crumbs, Parmesan cheese, and basil.

First pat your chicken breast dry with some paper towel. The oil and garlic powder will not stick to the chicken breast if it is wet.

Then coat both sides of the chicken breast in the oil/garlic. Repeat with the coating of bread crumbs and Parmesan cheese, make sure to cover your chicken really well.

Place in a greased 9X13 pan and bake in a pre-heated oven at 400 for 25 minutes or until your chicken is cooked through.

Using the oil and garlic instead of milk or egg wash really makes the garlic flavor pop! I was floored by how amazing it was. And like I said, every bite was eaten and my kids still wanted more.

Chicken with Parmesan & Bacon

by Ashley Mullen Leave a Comment

My favorite meals tend to be those that I just throw together. Like this chicken with Parmesan & bacon. Delicious! It is super easy to make any day of the week, even busy weekdays.

This meal has become a huge favorite with everyone in our family, I have to make double the amount of chicken that I normally make for anything else and it still doesn’t seem to be enough.

My favorite thing is you don’t have to measure, just sprinkle one ingredient over the other and bake. Make it to your family’s taste.

What you need:

  • Parmesan cheese
  • ranch dressing
  • bread crumbs
  • garlic powder – easier than grating or chopping garlic cloves
  • bacon bits
  • boneless, skinless chicken breasts

How to make Chicken with Parmesan & Bacon

Grab some chicken breasts and a casserole dish. Also grab some ranch, breadcrumbs, garlic powder, bacon bits, and of course Parmesan.

Chicken Parmesan & Bacon

You’re going to start with placing your chicken breast in your casserole dish. Spread some ranch over the top of them, sprinkle garlic powder over the top of the ranch, add it to your taste.

Sprinkle the bread crumbs over top, using about half a cup. Toss some bacon bits over the chicken, and sprinkle or grate some Parmesan cheese over all of it.

Cover for half of the cooking time to prevent the bread crumbs and bacon from burning. Bake at 425, for 25-30 minutes or until the juices run clear.

Use a good size spoon to scoop out each piece of chicken, trying not to lose any of the toppings. Serve with some vegetables of choice, our choice was baked potatoes. YUM! Plus I then had less clean up than cooking on a stove top.

This Chicken with Parmesan & Bacon is so good that we’ve had twice in two weeks, and we’re not fans of repeat meals in the same month let alone back to back weeks.
