Kitchen Equipment Needed

• Baking sheet

• Measuring cups and spoons
• Knife and cutting board
• Meat mallet (optional)

Ingredients

• 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts

• 1 teaspoon garlic powder
• 1 teaspoon onion powder
• 1 teaspoon dried basil

• Fresh parsley, for garnish (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat the Oven:
   • Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).

5. Top with Parmesan Mixture:
   • Place the seared chicken breasts on a baking sheet or oven-safe dish. Spread the Parmesan mixture evenly over the top of each chicken breast.
6. Bake the Chicken:
   • Transfer the chicken to the preheated oven and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until the chicken is cooked through and the topping is golden and bubbly.
