Creating Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bake is a straightforward process that anyone can follow. Here’s how to do it:

1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and prepare a baking dish by lightly greasing it with olive oil or cooking spray.
2. Mix the Coating: In a large bowl, combine the grated Parmesan cheese, breadcrumbs, minced garlic, fresh parsley, onion powder, paprika, black pepper, and salt. Stir until well mixed.
3. Prepare the Chicken: Pat the chicken breasts dry with paper towels. This helps the coating adhere better.
4. Coat the Chicken: Drizzle the olive oil over the chicken breasts, ensuring they are well coated. Then, dip each piece of chicken into the cheese and breadcrumb mixture, pressing firmly to ensure an even coating.
5. Place in Baking Dish: Arrange the coated chicken breasts in the prepared baking dish in a single layer without overlapping.
6. Bake: Place the dish in the preheated oven and bake for 40-50 minutes, or until the chicken is golden and cooked through (internal temperature should reach 165°F or 74°C).
7. Rest: Once cooked, remove the dish from the oven and allow the chicken to rest for about 5 minutes before serving.
8. Garnish (Optional): For an extra touch, sprinkle additional parsley over the chicken before serving.

By following these simple steps, you will create a flavorful and tender Garlic Parmesan Chicken Bake that everyone will love!
