Parmesan Chicken Bake

Teresa Ambra
Parmesan Chicken Bake is our favorite chicken dish. It's made with a simple breading from Italian bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, thyme, parsley, lemon pepper and dredged in melted butter. It's terrific for company or holiday dinners like Easter, Mother's Day or Father's Day. We love this recipe and our guests always enjoy it too.

Instructions
 

  • Preheat oven to 350°.

  • Melt butter in 9x13” baking dish in oven.

Notes

NOTE: Instead of using butter, this is also good with olive oil drizzled over the top and olive oil cooking spray on the bottom of the pan.
 
NOTE: I've also made this dish gluten free by using 4C brand gluten free bread crumbs. I purchase them at Walmart.
